-====== Using the USB-2404-UI with strain gauge based measurements ======+====== USB-QUAD08 C/C++ Windows Example ======
  
-This app note (PDF file) details configuring the [[ http://www.mccdaq.com/usb-data-acquisition/USB-2404-UI.aspx | USB-2404-UI ]] for strain gauge, load cell, pressure transducers, and other bridge-based measurements.+The example program below demonstrates (using C++) how to configure a USB-QUAD08 channel for quadrature encoder input. The key is to set the cbCConfigScan Mode parameter to ENCODER|ENCODER_MODE_X1|ENCODER_MODE_BIT_32 (for X1 mode). You also have to specify the CTR32BIT in the Options for the cbCInScan function. For example, BACKGROUND|CONTINUOUS|CTR32BIT for continuous operation.
  
 +It also demonstrates device discovery which doesn't require the user to run InstaCal. InstaCal must still be installed because doing so installs the device drivers. At the bottom of this article you will find a Zip file that contains the Visual Studio 2008 project.
