Back in the old SLC days the encoder cards had the option to show a rate (hz) and a count. With the 1734 I can only have one or the other. I have an encoder on a motor driving a belt conveyor. I want to know the speed of the conveyor with a decent update rate, as well as an accurate measurement. With a one second timer comparing the change in counts the calculations aren't very accurate. The longer we wait between updates the better it gets.
I'm sure the variation is caused by update rates.
What logic would you guys use to get an feet per min number without just averaging a big sample?
