Hello,
I will be conducting an expierment where I will be making voltage measurements on a rotating platform. Duruing the expierment, I need to be able to document the voltate when the rotatin is at 4 loations 360 degree, 90 degrees, 180 degrees and 270 degrees. In my mind, I see a product on the computer screen and printable where there are 2 graphs running in parallel. A number 1,2,3 or 4, would indicate which direction is noted on the screen and the ability to see the voltage reading of the expierment above. Obviously the voltage reading is a separate instrament. My question is how to best make this work wiht the T-7 pro? I was thinking of using a magnetic pick up on a rotating stage and 4 magnets on the outside of the rotating area. Is there a way to make this work or is there a better way to set this up?

It sounds like your magnet setup would be similar to creating a magnetic encoder. Instead, I might recommend you look into getting an incremental/quadrature encoder.
More information on our quadrature feature can be found here:

We have an encoder-reliant application near the bottom of this page that may be similar to what you want (minus the graphs for the analog measurements):
