wiring and programing our optical encoders

[michael1991j]

hello
we are trying to set up our us first optical encoders. unfortunately there is nothing in the manual that I could find on how to do this task. now I have gone though the chief Delphi forum's and found a article that explained how to set up the encoders. from what it said is that I had to hook up our encoder by getting a two three pin cable and wire them like this

ground
power
signal a

then get another cable and put signal b on the other cable on the signal slot


and then plug them into our digital side cars
now if I have this set up right would anybody know happen to know how I would program this in c++. just to have it output the angle.

thank you
