The following assumes that you have built, and exported a LED component, as described in Exercise - Create an LED Component and Exercise - Exporting the LED Component.

Open the 'Outputs' toolbox, where you stored the exported 'newLED' component. (If no destination was specified for the exported component, it would appear in the 'Misc' toolbox.)

Locate the 'newLED' component, and use the down-arrow next to it to add it to the System Panel. It can now be used in the same way as any other electronic device.

Create a flowchart which uses the imported component, and then test the imported component in simulation to ensure it works properly

-* Click on the 'Simulation' tab. The simulation macros, 'LEDoff' and 'LEDon' appear in the tree.
-* Click on the one you want, and then click on 'OK'.
-* Simulate the flowchart, (see [[Exercise - Simulating a Program]]), to test whether the import has worked.
