When using:

setp hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.03.direction.invert_output
setp hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.03.step.invert_output

Results:

Debug file information:
Note: Using POSIX realtime

Stopping realtime threads

But:

setp hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.03.direction.invert_output TRUE
setp hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.03.step.invert_output TRUE

Executes and launches

Note that that is the default (as shipped) firmware, not the 5ABOB firmware

Yeah. Reviewing my notes its 5i25_7i76x2.

I think I just got something to click looking at these with fresh ideas. on Pncconf under the "Num" column that's not the DB25 pin, but IO number, so when I have my config configured for 7i76x2 and I want I/O 7 for Z Axis Stepgen, my joint3, that's actually Pin 17 on the DB25... I totally thought it was all mapped 1 to 1.

Yep. That was it. God I do not feel bright. Thanks for the help on this.
