(Solved) Spindle Analog Output Not Working

Hi Guys,
I am setting up LinuxCNC for the first time and now have a basic machine running that I can jog each axis on. I am now trying to work out how to get the analog output working to control spindle speed (18,000 rpm router spindle).

1) Running 2.7.14 installed from here: "linuxcnc-stretch-uspace-amd64.iso" from www.linuxcnc.org/testing-stretch-rtpreempt/
2) Mesa 7i76e
3) Setup using Pncconfig.
4) Spindle Enable signal is working fine.
5) My VSD will eventually provide 10VDC to pin Pin3 (SPINDLE+) and 0VDC to Pin1(SPINDLE-) of connector TB4. For now I have just connected a 9V battery to those pins.
6) When I turn on the spindle from LinuxCNC, pins 5 & 6 of TB4 connect together to turn on the spindle but I don't get any analog voltage at pin 2 (SPINDLE OUT) of TB4 (with reference to pin1).

I don't know my way around the hal & ini files yet. Could someone provide some direction of what to look for please?. I have attached my hal & ini files.

Cheers.

I didn't realise the speed was going to start at 0 (=0V) and that the + sign needs to be clicked many times (can't just hold) before you notice the voltage rising. Holding F12 as you suggest moves the voltage much quicker so it does indeed work fine. I have now changed the ini file settings to 18,000rpm. Is the GUI supposed to show RPM anywhere by default? It would have been immediately obvious if there was an RPM display.
Thanks for your help.

add DEFAULT_SPINDLE_SPEED = 200
to the INI under the [DISPLAY] header.

Thanks Chris, I added DEFAULT_SPINDLE_SPEED to ini and working well.

Thanks Tommylight, I added a sidepanel from Machine -> Hal Meter -> Signals Tab -> spindle-output which works to show commanded spindle speed. Is this the same as would result from doing it in Pncconf as I don't see that setting in mine (I am trying not to use Pncconf again anyway as it overwrites all my changes)?
The only issue now is that I have to open the side window manually every time I start LinuxCNC. Can this be set to popup automatically?

Cheers, I will check it out.
