Last but not least the important tabs for Ethernet cards a way to find out if your PC is a good candidate for an Ethernet Mesa card.

The info tab you can get the CPU information and the NIC information.


The pc tab you can get the tmax value and with the CPU speed calculate the amount of the servo period it uses.

You're the best BigJohnT!

It's great to see the 7i96 board being more thoroughtly supported!

I am curious, why a separate tool rather than adding the board to pncconf?

Two reasons, simplicity in configuration is the overwhelming drive for me to write it. IMHO it's easier for a NewBee to use a tool designed for the card and not have so many selections to try and understand.

I didn't write pncconf so I don't know anything about it. I tried to look at it once but you needed something special to open it (I forget it's been a long time) so I quit. Even I get confused trying to build a configuration with pncconf...

Is someone doing simultaneity to 7i92 ?
