I continued to be a bit frustrated with the LabVIEW encoder VIs so I became determined to figure out how and when they work.
I discovered quite a few things through experimenation and disecting the VI's.
I'm still not convinced I have figured out the way to overcome the occasional glitch, but I decided to write up my finding for anyone else trying to get the encoders working.
Here is the white-paper.

Please feel free to pass on any tid-bits you've discovered and I'll update it.
Phil.
ps: does anyone know how to delete attachments from a white paper.
I used the "delete" link but things just stay attached.
