They did not, both were named, and ghosted, as step B dir or something like
that. As for the BOB selections, even a simple 1/1 would clarify much.
That is all the C1G is, but its one heck of a buffer plus led tallies on
every pin. Rail to rail swings, +- 24 ma source or sink. 10 ns speeds.
The whole session did spit out quite a few errors oon the background screen
too:

Running it again:
The first thing I see is that my servo thread runs at .5 millisecond as the
encoders output is many times more useful at the higher speed, but clicking
on the latency test uses fixed 1ms and 20u-s assumptions. The figures
returned are horrible (servo max 2.8ms?) but expected on this machine which
I would never ever consider as a candidate to run the real LCNC on. In
fact, I'll quite it here, shove all the bits over the wire to the lathes
box, an atom D525MW board, and do it there.
Got the configs moved (hostmot2) to that boxes ~gene/linuxcnc/configs dir,
but where do I put the utils from the 5i25 unpack? This archive is
noticeable lacking in README's to guide the installation.
Thanks Chris.
