Access LED
The Access LED indicates the communication status of the NI PXIe-6672.
Refer to Figure 3-2 for the location of the Access LED.
Table3-1 summarizes what the Access LED colors represent.
Active LED
The Active LED can indicate an error or phase-locked loop (PLL) activity.
You can change the Active LED to amber, unless an error overrides the
selection. Refer to Figure 3-2 for the location of the Active LED.
Tip Changing the Active LED color to amber is helpful when you want to identify devices
in a multichassis situation or when you want an indication that your application has
reached a predetermined section of the code.
Table3-2 illustrates the meaning of each Active LED color.
Note A red Active LED can indicate that either PXI_CLK10 has stopped or that there is
a PLL error.
