Here's what I would do to verify that your encoder is working: In the routine where you are controlling the arm, add the following code:
Code:
int tempEncoder;
static int prevEncoder = 0;
...
tempEncoder = Get_Left_Encoder_Count();
if (tempEncoder != prevEncoder) {
   printf("%d ", tempEncoder);
   prevEncoder = tempEncoder;
}
