Hey Guys,
I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere but I am having a hard time figuring out what I need to do to configure these cards in the Pncconf Wizard. Much of the information I come across is from 6 or 7 years ago and I imagine things have changed since then. I have a fresh, updated version of LinuxCNC V2.7.14 loaded up on the computer. I have a brand new 5i25 and 7i77 plugged in and the jumpers in the correct position to provide 5v to the daughter card. My first problem I come across is when I try to run the Pncconf Wizard, I am missing the fields of information to select the card and PCI port number as shown in the photos. My second question at the moment regards firmware selection. I am only running one 7i77 but I do not see that as an option in the available firmware configurations, I see 7i77x2, 7i77x2 with one 7i77, but not a 1x 7i77 firmware config. Which firmware should I choose to run only one 7i77?

Is there a step/steps I have missed to cause these problems?
Any help is much appreciated

1. There is no need for a PCI port number/address
2. 7I77x2 with one 7I77 is the appropriate selection

Which screen are you referring to?
Mesa card options are set on the /Mesa Card 0' page.
That should be about 6 'clicks' in (depending on options and versions)

Appreciate the help, the firmware configuration is a bit confusing at first glance, also when you go to assign analog +-10v for servo drives, the only option on the drop down menu is PWM, which is also a bit misleading but if you just ignore it and keep going you see it is actually configuring analog servos. I am having trouble getting the servos PID loop tuned in Pncconfig. If I use axis to configure my servos, will it effect my ability to open and edit the configuration in Pncconfig from then on?
