homing with Phase Z encoder on MESA 7i96s

None of these are needed and the first will likely mean
that you never get an index.

setp [HMOT](CARD0).encoder.00.index-mask 1
setp [HMOT](CARD0).encoder.00.index-invert 0
setp [HMOT](CARD0).encoder.00.index-mask-invert 0

The index mask logic is intended for configurations
that have a index mask input pin which is typically used
for spindles where the encoder is on the motor and the
spindle is geared down from the motor.

I deleted the 3 lines without success Z undetectable.
My axis turns at slow speed during the homing phase but never stops.
Should it stop when it finds the puls index?

Did you check index enable?

To test whether the index hardware is working (assuming you can move the axis past
an index mark), you would:

With LinuxCNC running,  use halshow to watch the signal b-index-enable
and then with either halshow or halcmd, set b-index-enable true"

halcmd sets b-index-enable true

halshow should now show b-index-enable true

now, if you move the axis past an index mark, b-index-enable should go false.

This is how you test for correct index operation.

That points to hardware issues, are you sure:

The index wiring is correct.

The encoders actually have an index output.

My wiring is good. I followed the MESA7i96s documentation. I think everything is correct.
I've tested 5 RS-422 encoders with phase A+,A-,B+,B-,Z+,Z-. Or maybe my MESA board isn't working properly. I don't know how to get out of it
