You have :
num_encoders=4
but only 3 available so change that to
num_encoders=3

I had time this morning to test and after correcting a couple of bit file mismatches it loaded right up and seems to work fine .

I do not see anything that would prevent it from working.

Thanks very much for setting up and trying this both of you. So it looks like the 7i96 is looking good for PP - I better ask Santa to bring me one for christmas

a quick search found this -

forum.linuxcnc.org/27-driver-boards/3674...wn-function-gtag-195

What version of PP are you running - wonder if you are still on linuxcnc 2.7?

PP V2.3.6

IF that is the error message meaning then the Card will not be compatible with PP.

Unfortunately it does mean that the card is not fully supported by PathPilot.
Gtag 195 = the SSR tag so the 7I96 isolated outputs would not work

Hmmm that's a shame - out of interest what is the linuxcnc version showing as in the logs.
