Step 4. Power on Your System and Switch on Your GPIB-232CV-A
1.
Plug the power cords for your computer system into a power outlet and
power on all devices.
2.
If you have an AC version, use the front panel rocker switch to power
on your GPIB-232CV-A. If you have a DC version, use the power
switch on the rear panel to power on your GPIB-232CV-A.
The POWER LED indicator should come on immediately. The
READY LED indicator should come on after the GPIB-232CV-A has
passed its power-on self test, indicating the unit is ready for operation.
If the READY LED does not come on within seven seconds after the
unit is powered on, recheck all connections and switch settings and
retry the power-on sequence. If the READY LED still does not come
on, contact National Instruments for technical support.
