Status
• STATUS LED on the front panel of the MultiClamp 700A indicates traffic on the
serial cable.
• See also Chapter 6,
TROUBLESHOOTING.
The STATUS light illuminates whenever data is being transmitted on the serial cable
that connects the MultiClamp 700A to the host computer. Under quiescent conditions
the STATUS light flashes at about 2 Hz, indicating that the MultiClamp Commander is
interrogating the MultiClamp 700A in order to update its meter displays.
The STATUS light is useful for troubleshooting. If it does not flash continuously, a
communication problem is indicated. (See
TROUBLESHOOTING.)
