DAQPad-6052E
The DAQPad-6052E is a completely software-configurable, Plug and Play
instrument. The Plug and Play services query the instrument and allocate
the required resources. The operating system enables the instrument for
operation. Refer to the software documentation for more information about
Plug and Play.
The DAQPad-6052E is equipped with two LEDs to help you determine the
state of the device:
•
Power LED
–
Off—No power is provided to the device. Either the power cord is
unplugged, or the power source is broken.
–
Dim—The device is receiving power, but it is not connected to an
active 1394 port.
–
On—The device is receiving power and is connected to an active
1394 port.
•
Communications (COM) LED—The COM LED blinks when the
device sends or receives commands or data. This LED should blink
once when you first plug in the device. If you are transferring a large
amount of data, this light should be on or blinking continually.
Refer to the software documentation for more information on how to
configure the device.
