Actually brain surgery is probabally easier
You only need the smartTerm program which is free...
What card do you have the 1700 or 1800 maybe?
Download the manual, if you don't already have it Look at step 9, page 34 and armed with about 10 of the two letter commands you can tune, command a move & interrogate to what is happening in a few minutes of operation. Have the VFD powered off and anything else that might affect the outcome.
Also with the drive enable off, If you turn the motor shaft in one turn increments and type a TP the encoder count should increment or decrement by the amount of encoder pulses/rev.
Likewise with the system enabled, do a simple move equivalent to say 10 revolutions (encoder count x 10) and check the motor for 10 revs, and again do an interrogation (TP)
