Sorry I missed the analog stuff in the hal file.
One thing you might do is (with LinuxCNC running)
1. Without gcode running:
halcmd show pin plasmac > nogcode.txt
2. With gcode running:
halcmd show pin plasmac > gcode.txt
and then compare the two files.

Is it performing the touch-off and arc lighting when you start the program? Torch goes down, contacts the plate (depending on your touch-off sensor), goes back up to striking height, lights the arc, at which point the THC can start reading arc voltage. Is it doing any of that?
