I was trying to install the code capture package but VIPM cannot connect to Labview (please see attachment screen shot of error box)
I have verified all of my settings with VI Server and have no clue what happened, any ideas?
You took the "intelligent programmers" (that I didn't write in the first place, just agreed with the OP's point) thing out of context and used it in response to a different issue.
We could sit here all day long and post contradicting links without changing each others minds. Believe what you want, i'll do the same.
I'll have to check if I have any left and get back to you. Its been a while since I have had to deal with this so I cant remember off the top of my head. All I remember is I used something in a 8 pin DIP configuration that seemed to work well.
In addition to all the great responses so far, if you are using an optical encoder in a high vibration environment, you may need to put a filter on it if you get some bleed through on channels A and B.
