Frankly I don't know why this is turning out to be so difficult. It should be really really easy. Here's the situation.
I'm moving my project into the format of the 9205 Basic I/O example project. I'm doing this primarily to get the calibration done automatcially from the property nodes, etc... However I am unable to add channels to my project!! I've made a few simple expansions as seen below.

What am I missing guys? Could I get a quick walk-through or some serious direction? These channels refuse to show up or output anything!!!
