Just a thought, since you have the laken software you can also just jog an axis, lets say X, and look to see what pin on the DB 25 cord is changing state via your meter, I will guess it's 2 to 9. So jog the axis with their software to make sure the board is working. That will tell you
what pin is assigned to the wires going to the drives. Check that the cord is straight thru, ie pin 1 is pin1 on the on both sides.
BTW, Software sends a signal from PC to a particular PP pin, the signal then goes to Larkens controller connection (DB25) which eventualy goes to the drive connection on that board. So using the larken software you will find out what you need to know.
