To wire components hover over point where you wish to connect to, left click, then move to the location for the end of the wire and left click to finish. To place the components, resistor and capacitor, either right click and select place component, or click the place basic button in the toolbar.
Or if you don’t have a Resistor or LED to hand, use the Digital Reader and wire one of the DIO to 5V. Or use the Digital Writer with an LED connected between DIO7 and DGND. Note you need to press the run arrow to start making a measurement. You can use this to directly test the operation of the myDAQ by opening the Digital Multimeter, attaching the probes to the base of the unit and measuring the resistance of a resistor. If installed correctly the NI ELVISmx instrument launcher will open when you plug the myDAQ into the USB port. Note this software only works on windows, if you have Mac, however, then all is not lost you simply need to use bootcamp to install windows 8.1 first and then install MultiSim and ELVISmx. This guide assumes that you have first installed NI MultiSim 13 and then installed NI ELVISmx 14.0 driver for the NI myDAQ.
