LabView Gear Tooth Sensor Code

The gear tooth sensor was not meant to be used with the USB-6009 DAQ device the same way it will be used on the robot. The gear tooth sensor generates a pulse that is too narrow for a USB DAQ device to read reliably - most often on the IFI controller teams use an interrupt line to catch pulses and to reduce aliasing of the pulsing signal. No such mechanism exists for the USB-DAQ. However, if you were to use a standard Hall-effect sensor (without direction sensing), the DAQ can be used to read the output of the sensor at low speeds.
