LED Indicators

This appendix describes how to interpret the status of the PCI-7041 by 
reading the LEDs.

Interface Status and Access LEDs

POWER (PWR)

When lit, the 

POWER

 LED indicates that the power is on and the 

PCI-7041 is out of reset.

Drive (HDD)

The 

HDD

 LED indicates when an access to the CompactFlash is occurring.

Watchdog (WD)

When lit, the 

Watchdog

 LED indicates something has caused the software 

to stop running.

Note

For this monitoring to occur, you must include the Watchdog VIs in your 

LabVIEW code.

CPU Temperature Monitor (TMP)

When lit, the 

CPU Temperature Monitor 

LED indicates the temperature 

has exceeded the CPU’s rated operating temperature range and the 
PCI-7041 has been reset.

USER 1 (1)

The 

USER 1

 LED is user programmable via LabVIEW. Refer to the 

LabVIEW RT User Manual

 for more information.

USER 2 (2)

The 

USER 2

 LED is user programmable via LabVIEW. Refer to the 

LabVIEW RT User Manual

 for more information.
