LEDs
TheRT Series processor board has two LEDs. You can use these LEDs to
indicatethe state of your running application. On the PXI-7030 device, the
LEDs arevisible on the front panel. Because the LEDs are located along
the top edge of the device on the PCI-7030, you must remove the cover
fromthe case of your computer to view them.
The red LED turns on during a portion of the reset of the RTSeries DAQ
device.Also, the red LED turns on and remains lit if the RT Engine detects
aninternal error. Youcan control both the red LED and a second green LED
from LabVIEW RTapplications to provide status information.
Youcan use the RT Board LEDs VI located on the Functions»RT»RT
SeriesDAQ»RT Board Utilities palette in your application to control each
LED independently.You can turn each LED on, off, or toggle its state.
