The general pin names and functions are described in the hosmot2 manual page
man hostmot2
You can also list all the available* 7I96 hardware pins and parameters with:
halcmd show all hm2_7i96
available* = present in firmware and enabled by driver command line
Setting the PWM frequency would be something like:
setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.pwm_frequency 5000
man hostmot2

Thanks.
I already have the following set in the hal file (created by 7i96 config tool).
What I'm missing is a signal to control hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.value and hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.enabled.

# Spindle
setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.output-type 0
setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.scale [SPINDLE]MAX_RPM
setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.pwm_frequency [SPINDLE]PWM_FREQUENCYWhat I'm missing is a signal to control hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.value and hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.enabled.

man motion
( I dont mean to be flip but the actual pin names for spindle control
depend on your specific version of LinuxCNC, and the man page will reflect this. )

like that
#spindel vfd
setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.pwm_frequency 400
setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.scale 24000
setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.out0.invert_output True
setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.pdm_frequency 6000000
net spindle-speed-cmd spindle.0.speed-out => hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.value
net spindle-on spindle.0.on => hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.enable

@PWC it didn't sound "flip" to me. I appreciate every second people spend to answer my newbie questions. I tried to find my way through the pdf documentation, but it's kind of hard to navigate.
man motion seems to be a better information source.

I measured my spindle speeds. It's about 10-20% more than commanded. Is there any easy way to calibrate this? It's not that bad for my hobby usage, but it would be nice if it were more correct.

Simple:
set the PWM scale 10-20% higher
Bit more complex:
use the scale component to add an offset and scale for best line fit
Fancy:
use the lincurve component to correct the speed at many points
Closed_loop:
use the spindle encoder for velocity feedback with PID to get closed loop
speed control

Thanks, I'll go with "simple" for now.
"the spindle encoder".. sounds like everyone has one. My spindle has four connections. I'm not sure what they are, but I'm guessing Ground, A, B, Index. If I had a spindle encoder I would have more connections, wouldn't I?

A spindle encoder is not terribly useful on a router, its pretty much
necessary on a Lathe (unless you have a servo/stepper driven spindle)
and allows you to do things like rigid tapping on a mill.
