Hi CFloyd,
You should have attached a screenshot of your circuit as it is hard to visualize what you created. I'll just proceed anyway.
Can put a Voltmeter or Digital Meter (0/1) to generate a wave for the Clock, but cannot get anything to generate a wave from the Q output.
A voltmeter or digital meter (maybe you are referring to digital/logic probe) cannot produce a clock waveform as they are measurement devices not generators. You should use a Clock Voltage Source, I think a Digital Clock is also available for Premium account.
If I attempt to put any type of probe, nothing.
If I attempt to just truncate a wire at a junction, the wire is black/blue, not red like all of the other wires in the circuit.
A red wire signifies an analog node/net. Black/blue is for digital node/net, the two colors are for logic low and high.
How do you get the Q on a J/K Flip Flop to Output as a wave, to be able to compare the frequency to the Clock frequency?
For the input clock you simply put a digital probe or analog voltage probe in the interconnecting wire. For the output, you can place a Connector in your circuit and wire its terminal to the flip-flop's output. Through this wire. you can place a probe for observing the output. You need waveforms, not numeric displays that rapidly change, for your objective so you should open the Grapher window. You can click on the sine wave icon or the diode/sine icon for split-window mode.
One more important thing:
Trying to create a very simple Divide by Two circuit, using a J/K Flip Flop. Clock at 5V 500 HZ; 5V power in.
Multisim Live defaults to 3.3 V logic mode so you have to change it in Simulation settings which can be accessed by clicking on a vacant area of the schematic diagram then clicking the gear icon.
Best regards,
