Newb and 5i20 DOut don't mix

Hello,
I am trying to set up a two servo lathe like test bench . I have a 5i20 + 7i33 + two 7i37 .
Currently running on Ubuntu 10.04 and LinuxCNC 2.5.4
flashed the mesa with SVST8_4.BIT
PNCconf configured everything for me . So far the limit switches work servos and positioning regulators work . The demo runs fine . Digital outputs don't work at all . They are configured for X and Z enable . They are either constantly on or off and completely ignore any comands . I moved them to 46 and 47 because I thought there was someting wrong with the first ones . In the .hal I have this

What I dont see here is the => symbol whose function I don't quite understand .
How can I get digital outputs to work ?

ok can we step back a bit and check through
which servo amps are you using ? is their a reason your using digital inputs , rather than gpio , or is it just a lack of pins etc
normal gpio pins are fine for enable etc, but you may find the digital pins lack a pullup in the servo amp , and will therefore float
this will give the sense that they dont work .

the symbols are really only for human readability to show direction , linuxcnc it's self does not use them

I am using OUT6 and OUT7 on the first 7i37 . The servos are designed for open drain drivers . I have managed to give them RUN through the reverse diode of the transistor so the polarity is fine . I setup one of the outputs to force pin true and two more for coolant . None of them seem to be working . HAL meter shows that they get TRUE when they should, but nothing at the other end . I measure the drain source voltage with a multimiter on diode so I am shure the transistor is not on .
What do you mean using a digital input ?

have you try'd inverting the output pin ?
add
setp hm2_5i20.0.gpio.046.invert_output true
for example
i would also just use the normal out rather than opendrain
some systems suit it better

so try :
setp hm2_5i20.0.gpio.046.is_output true
setp hm2_5i20.0.gpio.046.invert_output true
net x-enable hm2_5i20.0.gpio.046.out

I have tried that, open drain and standart output . It didn't seem to work . Can the jumpers on the 5i20 somehow create this problem ?

It doesn't allow me to write anything . But I have observed the 047.out change in hal meter .

as said before , it may need a pullup to 5v from the pin with a resistor of say 2k2 , again PCW can advise
but can you give us the driver information so we can see how the enable is operated ..pdf perhaps

is the ground of the 7i37 also fixed to ground of the driver , so you have a common ground
you also say coolant etc is not working ? .. ok how is this wired and what voltage is present ?
it''s normal to supply 5v to say a relay and take the ground side of the relay to the output pin on the 7i37
the 7i37 will then switch the relay to ground , subject to being within voltage and current specs for the 7i37 etc

Hello,
two things happened .
I was supplying power form a lab PSU which was plugged in another outlet, probably another phase . That created immense noise problems . Now I am back to the internal supply . The reason i hesitate to connect the drive to non-isolated pins is because these servos are known to to cause problems . But so far the drive is not an issue .

And two LinuxCNC died on me . So first thing in the morning I will setup 2.6.4 and start over .

For a brief moment a few outputs were working, so I suspect the boards are fine . The working config was as suggested by cncbasher
is_output TRUE
invert_output TRUE
