It is called "qtplasmac.prefs.new_value"
The two values in there need to be used for Voltage Scale and Voltage Offset in the PARAMETERS tab.

If you have no manual edits in the main .hal or .ini files then you can use PnCconf as much as you like, these two files will be overwritten.
It will not overwrite custom.hal or custom_postgui.hal so it is best to keep your customisations in either of those.
It also won't overwrite qtplasmac.prefs if it exists, that is why qtplasmac.prefs.new_value is created.

I just did an experiment
I changed the jumpers to F/32
And also the settings in pncconf

Now it just shows random numbers.
Just seems to be counting until it starts from zero again.
If I check it in hal meter the numbers jump between negative and positive numbers.

Is the counter supposed to reset so you get a frequency?

I suspect you are probably missing this from your hal file
Code:
# --- 7i76e ENCODER SETUP --- setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.scale -1 setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.counter-mode 1

Your are in the right place but its encoder.00.velocity you need to be watching on the watch tab.

Mine looks like this, is that a problem?
Code:
# ---ARC VOLTAGE ENCODER--- net plasmac:arc-voltage-in <= hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.velocity setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.counter-mode 1 #setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.filter 1 setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.scale -1

So I finally got it working.
Problem is I modified a config file from linuxcnc 2.8

So I ran PNCconfig. And made a new configuration from scratch.

I figured out for some reason F/1 does not work.

Somehow changes to Qtplasmac don’t work if you run the configuration again.

Is this a bug?


I changed Jumper to F/32 and Made another configuration from scratch. Now it works perfectly.
