Encoder Logic Range?

My team has been noticing that our US Digital encoders for the Toughboxes are not sending data to the Digital Sidecar, and I suspect I found the reason. According to an oscilloscope, the encoder is making a (roughly) square wave output bounded by the range [-1V,1V], and both outputs are producing the same wave pattern. This was confirmed to be the case on all four encoders we have on our system. Is anyone else noticing this problem, or is it something I am doing wrong?
