Excellent. Thanks! I just put the Hal meter on inmux.00.enc0-count and see that it is in-fact counting when I move the MPG wheel, albeit backwards. I do have noise issues on the TB4 and TB5 inputs that are occurring when the DMM servo drives are powered up, even with the drives disabled. This doesn't seem to be affecting the motor encoder inputs, however. I followed all of DMM's recommendations for shielding and noise filtering - but regarding the signal cable shielding they recommend connecting the shied ground the the connector shell at the drive end vs. the MESA manual which recommends shielding at the Mesa end...
