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

Also the general learning of PLCs here http://www.plcs.net/contents.shtml (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 (http://www.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/qsds32/qsds32.html) from AutomationDirect
