PNCconf and OHMIC sense with THCad2

I Decided to add a second THCad2 to perform ohmic sensing. In PNCconf what is the choice supposed to be on the encoder? seem only option available for plasma is Arc voltage, and under the other options I do not see one for OHMIC. I tried setting it to arc voltage but that doesn't seem right as i only get one option to configure which board is being used.

pncconf does not support ohmic sensing with a thcad.
I have attached a later component and a stand alone hal file to set it up
You can add the hal file into your ini file
You will need to install the component with
sudo halcompile --install ohmic3.comp

ok, Im guessing i will need to modify these files to reflect the 7i96s?

Also do these files specify where on the encoder the wires will be? I just glanced over them real quick.

I thought I noticed for the 7i96s the THCAD should go into a speciffic location? Believe it was the diagram for the Low Rider 3.

It asumes you have the mesa bit file installed that ends in *pl.bit
This gives you 3 x encoder A's on the A,B and IDX terminals
The example assumes you will use encoder 1 which should be the ENC B terminals
Install the bit file, then review the pins in halshow to get the right pin names for your 7i96s
