"Open", whatevr that is on your intrument.
And that is probably what you see, since you wrote :

so then all pins can't be shorted to ground, right ?

That's OK. Let's take Lesson 1A then :-)

You will *never* get any help by just saying "I get errors"

****  Show us the errors !!!!! ****

Use cut-n-paste or whatever to show us the *original* errors.

Do *not* try to "translate" the actual errors using you own
words, that will absolutly just mess up things.

With some real errors shown, I'm sure that a lot of people
here can point directly at some possible causes.

Jan-Erik.
