Try starting with the videos at http://learn.automationdirect.com/welcome.html.

Also the general learning of PLCs here http://www.plcs.net/contents.shtml

You should have the "Getting Started" book which came with the software or you can download the one for the 32bit version here http://www.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/qsds32/qsds32.html from AutomationDirect

An output is a PLC's way of getting its inputs to change.
