CL HIL Read Encoder (Vector)

CL HIL Read Encoder (Vector)

Parent Polymorphic VI:CL HIL Read

Requirements:Quanser Rapid Control Prototyping Toolkit, LabVIEW 2020 or newer, Control Design and Simulation Module


Description

Reads from encoder input channels of a HIL board.


Required Inputs All required inputs must be wired. They always appear as terminals on the VI palette. They also appear in bold text in the context help window for the VI.
board in

board in is a reference to a HIL Board instance that represents the open HIL board. This input must be wired to a valid HIL Board signal, as generated by a HIL Initialize VI.


Outputs

board out

board out is a copy of the HIL Board instance passed to the board in input.

encoder counts

encoder counts is the encoder counts read from the specified encoder channels.


Details

This VI only reads encoder inputs. When reading from mixed signal types, it is more efficient to use the CL HIL Read Mixed than to include multiple VIs specific to each type of channel.


Feedthrough Behaviour

All input/output pairs of this function have direct feedthrough behaviour.


Examples

  • RCP CL HIL Analog Loopback Example This example is a simple analog loopback test, but it demonstrates a number of important features of RCP.
  • RCP CL HIL Position Control ExampleThis example demonstrates how to use a PID controller to control Quanser's SRV02 experiment.
