No success obtaining value of encoder from THCAD-10

In a terminal, what does

Return?

I'm not sure on the network issues, I've not heard of that before. I also only use wireless.  I've never messed with any network settings other than what's in the guide.

Are you using the English locale?  I doubt a different locale is causing the problem, but just asking because it popped into my head. 
  

Hey. Managed to do it. all axis moving, outputs working and everything.
just a weird problem that everytime i reboot the pc i need to go on "Edit Connections" and reconfigure the network otherwise it doesnt detect the board.
Next step is configuring the THCAD but for that i need to turn on the plasma generator and compressor so i'll wait until tomorrow.

Thank you very much for the support!

Not sure what the defaults are for the 7i96s, but did you change it so the board address is 10.10.10.10?

In the network manager, the IP4 tab, select "mabual" and save.

Also, no need for plasma and kompressor, the THCAD can be set up without those.
Wire it, set the scale and offset, see if the voltage on screen shows 0 with a bit of fluctuations, that is it.
Wire and check voltage before setting scale and offset, should show a lot of Volts on screen, meaning THCAD is being counted properly.

ALso check your encoder velocity in halshow. It should hover around the 0 volt frequency. If its not moving you have not configured your encoder correctly in hal. Do this test before you check for 0 volts as it bypasses any errors in your scaling.
