Where do I put the leads?

Guys, I know this is really a simple question that I should know already. Exactly where do I put my leads when I am setting the vref? Does the black lead go on TPX for x and so on? Then where does my red lead go? Top or bottom solder joint on the blue (variable resistors)? I really have looked all over here and the Yahoo groups for a wiring diagram or a simpler proceedure to set up this board. I have no joy as of yet. With all I have read about messing up something, I want to not only get this right, but understand what I am doing in the process. This is now my top priority. The rest of the board is pretty straight forward from all the different sources that I have gathered the info. I can promise one thing. I will make a diagram and step by step proceedure in the future so that others may be spared having to ask such ignorant questions about this board.
Thanks in advance.

Red lead goes on TPX and the black lead goes to ground. (Its by the red light). Look close, it says G or something like that.

Thanks for the reply. I did look for a separate ground around the led, but no joy.
The way that I was able to set it on my fisrt board was by using the smaller VBB gound that is used for a fan. Is this a good spot? I noticed another ground on the 4 pin ENA thingy. Would this ground work as well? Are all the labelled grounds suitable for setting VREF's?
Thanks again.

You can use any ground as far as I know. I used the fan ground also, but be careful. I hit the power side with my lead and smoked my X axis.

Thanks.
I did see just how close I was to the positive once. It did arc som on me with my old board.
It didn't burn anything out though. All three still ran after that. I will be covering that positive side with a wire splicer sleeve when I set the new board. Lesson learned.

I wasn't sure if some of the grounds may have been tied to a resistor or something and might give a false reading. I will be cranking up the new board on a lower setting than the 3.5 volts I initially used. Maybe down to 3 or 2.8. I can work up from there later.
