in short a Digital to Analog converter converts digital signali to analoge voltage or current.
In this case the output is current, but the datasheet shows how to convert the current to voltage.
Again, just look in the datasheet, and use one of the "tipical applications" diagrams.

For testing, connect the ADC's 8 output bits to the DAC's 8 input bits, and if everything is OK, the output voltage from the DAC should be the same as the input voltage to the ADC.
