Connect the <mark style="color:purple;">data</mark> **output of adaptor #1** to the <mark style="color:purple;">data</mark> **input of adaptor #2.** \
**This can be done in either of two ways:**

* Left clicking and holding with your mouse while dragging from one connection point to the next.
* Clicking on the word '<mark style="color:purple;">data</mark>' on either adaptor, and then clicking on the plus symbol that appears on the other adaptor(<img src="/files/1VH7ry5zezcGoYi1hD29" alt="" data-size="line">). This will automatically create a connection.
