National Instruments cFP-PG-522, FP-PG-522 Status Indicators

values, which reflect the number of pulses each channel has left to

generate after the current pulse. When you send the Generate

Pulses command to one of these channels, the data immediately

changes to reflect the number of pulses that remain. The data value

starts at the total number of pulses minus 1 and is zero during the

last pulse. For channels generating pulses in Continuous mode, the

data value is always zero.

Channels 8–15 correspond to physical channels 0–7. These

channels are not associated with any configuration attributes or

commands. The data values for channels 8–15 are Boolean values

that reflect the state of the physical outputs. Table4 shows the

relationship between physical channels and the channels seen from

the FieldPoint software.

Status Indicators

Figure4 shows the status indicator LEDs on the [c]FP-PG-522.

Figure 4. Status Indicators

The [c]FP-PG-522 has two green status LEDs, POWER and

READY. After you insert the FP-PG-522 into a terminal base or

the cFP-PG-522 onto a backplane and apply power to the

connected network module, the green POWER indicator lights

and the [c]FP-PG-522 informs the network module of its presence.
