Just a questions to the Scan-IF interface of e.g. msp430fr6989 or 
msp430fw428. I am just in the beginning phase of a new project and have not 
used this interface before. 

How many rotary encoders (quadrature enoding) can I connect to them? It is 
not really clear. It has 3 channels and only channel 2 can count up and 
downwards? So I can use it with just one encoder?

A alternative would be software samling of the quadrature encoder channels 
within a time interrupt. How fast can that be? Is 20kHz realistic?
(I think it mainly depends on how long interrupts are blocked in the main 
code).
