Get the Wiring Tool (appears like a roll of solder) by striking the Space Bar. To wire, first find<br />

the correct terminal on the icon. There are three in this case. The terminal for this connection,<br />

value, is the bottom third of the icon. To locate the region of the connection, sweep the Wiring<br />

Tool over the icon and find the value. A given terminal displays a black-and-white blinking<br />

while the Wiring Tool is in contact with this terminal. Now, with the Wiring Tool, Left Click on<br />

the value connection region, Release, and move the Wiring Tool to the terminal of the Digital<br />

Control. Left Click again to finish.<br />

For an alternative view of where the connections are made, you can Right Click on the icon,<br />

and get Visible Items>>Terminals. Recall again that the Digital Control terminal is darker than<br />

the Digital Indicator terminal. This adds additional clarification as to the correct terminal.<br />

Complete the connections to the icon with a Numeric Constant for the device (Right Click, then<br />

Functions>>Numeric>>Numeric Constant) and a String Constant for the channel (Right Click,<br />

then Functions>>String>>String Constant). Use the Pointing Tool (finger) to write in the<br />

constant values. Obtain the various Tools by striking the Tab key.<br />

Now sequence to Frame 1 to connect to the AI Acquire Waveform.vi icon. (Click on the<br />

arrows at the top of the Sequence Structure.) Complete all wiring, as shown in Fig. A.6, except<br />

for the waveform terminal (connection on the right side of the icon in Frame 1). This includes<br />

device (numeric constant, 4), channel (string constant, 0), number of samples (numeric<br />

constant, 100), high limit (numeric constant, 10), and low limit (numeric constant, 0). The low<br />

limit can be set to 0 because no negative numbers are to be read.<br />

As a reminder for using the Wiring Tool: In the Diagram, use Shift/Right Click to get the Tools<br />

Palette and obtain the Wiring Tool. The Wiring Tool is also obtainable by pressing the Space<br />

Bar, while the Diagram is the active window, to sequence between the Wiring Tool and the<br />

Positioning Tool. Left Click on the terminal to be wired (do not hold) and move the Tool to the<br />

other termination and Left Click again.<br />
