Ok, DAQ Mode 4 gives:

43 00 01 C8 00 55 00 29 23 SOMFS
43 00 01 C8 00 55 00 29 23 SOMFS
60 00 01 C8 06 55 00 29 30 OMFS
72 00 01 C8 12 55 00 29 30 OMFS
77 00 01 C8 1A 55 00 29 30 OMFS
83 00 01 C8 23 55 00 29 30 OMFS
8D 00 01 C8 2A 55 00 29 30 OMFS
97 00 01 C8 37 55 00 29 30 OMFS

DrivePot goes up as I press it.  (Good)
ArmatureCurrent stays at 0. (Probably Bad)
ArmDC goes up. (Expected)
MotorVoltage stays at 0. (Bad)

To me, this is sounding like a broken controller.  sigh.
