Device Initialization
While the NI 177x Smart Camera initializes, the Power and Status LED
indicators exhibit behavior described in the following table:
If both the Power and Status indicators continuously display solid red, your
device has experienced a critical error and you should contact NI support.
Power Indicator
The Power indicator provides information about the power supply. The
Power indicator is green while the camera is properly powered on. When
no power is being supplied to the NI Smart Camera, the Power indicator is
unlit. When power is first applied to the device, the Power indicator flashes
red for one second while internal systems power up. If the Power indicator
stays red for longer than one second, it indicates that the voltage is out of
range.
