Hi--
I'm working on a project in which I need to collect data from 3 encoders (via 3 counters) and 1 analog signal synchronously. I was hoping to get some high-level guidance here on the best approach.
I was contemplating using the internal clock to trigger measurements from the 4 sources. My questions are the following:
- what would be the best practice for this kind of data acquisition?
- are there any good counter/analog examples that people can point me to? I'm developing in VB but any text examples would be helpful.
- is there a way to run a single task to read all 3 counters? the way i've implemented it right now is with 3 separate tasks. it works, but i worry about synchronicity at higher sampling rates.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
