Appendix B Timing Diagrams
Quadrature and Two Pulse Encoder Timing
Counter n A, Counter n B, and Counter n Z, described in the
Counter n A, Counter n B, and
Counter n Z Signals
section of Chapter 7, Counters, are used in position measurements using
quadrature encoder or two-pulse encoder counting modes. Table B-35 shows the timing
requirements for these signals.

The times in this table are measured at the pin of the M Series device. For example, t
14
specifies the
minimum period of a signal driving a PFI, RTSI, or PXI_STAR pin when that signal is internally routed
to Counter n A.
