Connecting differential Encoder phases A and B and also a 5V TTL index to 7i76

4 axis mill with 5i25 and 7i76
Our spindle motor is connected to the spindle via a belt and pulley. The spindle motor has a differential encoder and is connected to a 7i76 and the counts and velocity are working correctly. We installed a 5V hall effect sensor on the spindle pulley so we could get an index signal for coordinated moves. Can I set the encoder jumpers on the 7i76 to have phases A and B differential and the index signal be 5V? If so, which jumper is for the index signal, W4, 5, or 6?

Do I rather need to run the index signal through a gpio pin on the 7i76? It seems that the 7i76 encoder component built into the 7i76 replaces the need for a separate hal encoder component. Is that correct? I'm not sure how to route the index signal to the built-in encoder on the 7i76, if not through the encoder inputs.

I'm stumped both methods. Any help would be appreciated. :)

The 7I76 encoder interface has individual mode jumpers for A,B and Index so you would just jumper A/B for differential and Index for TTL

W4 Index mode
W5 B mode
W6 A mode
