74HC595 output voltage

Using Arduino General Electronics

No frequency function. Could it be a programming error? This is the code pertaining to the shift register.

const int latchPin = 8; // Pin connected to latch pin 12 (ST_CP) of 74HC595
const int clockPin = 9; // Pin connected to clock pin 11(SH_CP) of 74HC595
const int dataPin = 10; // Pin connected to Data in 14(DS) of 74HC595

void setup(){
pinMode(latchPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(dataPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(clockPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop(){
digitalWrite(latchPin, LOW);
shiftOut( dataPin, clockPin, LSBFIRST, 1 );
digitalWrite(latchPin, HIGH);
}

Thanks a lot for the help so far guys. I go around to a lot of forums during my boring day at work and this is by far one of the most helpful and knowledgeable ones.

That loop() function is repeated resending the data to the shift register so it isn't outputing a steady state. Add a delay(1000).
