I am not Cytron staff, but I used the flexiforce before. And Yet, I think you should go through the data sheet before using a sensor or any product to ensure you are getting the thing that you need. Flexiforce is just simply a sensor that can change the pressing force on the end that sensor into resistance. Simple way to measure it is to apply voltage across the terminal and it will become a voltage divider.

Never use the encoder with plate before, but if I am not mistaken, again I think they should have the User's Manual, right?

Lastly, an advise from me: RTFUM (I get it from other forum), good luck!

Never use PCI7432 card before. I found that it is supported by LabView software. ActiveX Controls for this card are provided too. So maybe u can start from these two directions - write ur program in LabView or VB (by using the ActiveX).
