If you connect its pneumatic port to the high-pressure (120 PSI) part of your pneumatic piping, the pressure switch works without any further effort required on your part.

Prepare an appropriate length of servo ("PWM") cable by cutting the male (with pins) end off and leaving the female (with holes) end connected to the cable. Wire one of the pressure switch's terminals to the black wire of the cable and the other terminal to the white wire, leaving the red wire disconnected (and suitably insulated with electrical tape to prevent its 5 volt power from touching anything by accident). Plug the end of the cable into the DIGITAL I/O port on the Digital Sidecar that matches the port number you told the Compressor Open VI.
