LEDs show which set of indicator meanings is active, and may also be more convenient for
monitoring general device status than the left-side LEDs.
The green and red status LEDs here, and on the side of the neoVI FIRE 2, show information
about it through a number of flash patterns, which are described in
Table 1.
Flash Pattern
Description
Green LED flashing rapidly; red
LED off
FIRE 2 is powered on but offline.
Green and red LEDs flashing
rapidly in alternating sequence
Device is powered and online with a PC running Vehicle Spy or
other software.
Red LED flashing rapidly; green
LED off
FIRE 2 is running a CoreMini script.
Red LED flashing at constant rate;
green LED flashing intermittently
VehicleScape Standalone Logging is active; the flash rate of the
green LED reflects the rate at which data is being logged.
Green LED flashes three times
slowly, red LED flashes once, then
cycle repeats
FIRE 2 is in bootloader mode. This normally occurs when new
firmware is being flashed to the device. See Section 4.2 for
more details.
Table 1: FIRE 2 Green/Red LED Flash Patterns.
Network/Logger Status RGB LEDs
The membrane contains 8 RGB (full color) LEDs in two rows of four. The meaning of each LED
changes depending on whether the upper left blue button has been pressed or the lower right
white button, so the 8 LEDs actually indicate a total of 16 separate status conditions. To find
the current meaning of each LED, check whether the white button or blue button has its LEDs
flashing, and then refer to the label of the corresponding color (described below).
Interpretation of RGB LED Colors
These are “RGB” LEDs because they contain separate red, green and blue elements. For
networks, each indicates a different aspect of the device’s overall status:
•
Green:
Device is transmitting messages on this channel.
•
Blue:
Device is receiving messages on this channel.
•
Red:
Device is detecting errors on this channel.
It is possible for more than one LED component to be lit, producing the following results:
•
Green+Blue (Cyan):
Device is transmitting and receiving on this channel.
•
Green+Red (Yellow):
Device is transmitting and detecting errors on this channel.
•
Blue+Red (Magenta):
Device is receiving and detecting errors on this channel.
•
Green+Blue+Red (White):
Device is transmitting, receiving and detecting errors on this
channel.
