Introduction 1
Status LEDs
Following LEDs are available at the front panel to indicate the status of the
M8194A module:
• The green ‘Access’ LED:
• It indicates that the controlling PC exchanges data with the AWG
module.
• The red ‘Fail’ LED has following functionality:
• It is ‘ON’ for about 30 seconds after powering the AXIe chassis.
• After about 30 seconds the LED is switched ‘OFF’. If an external PC
is used to control the AXIe chassis, this PC can be powered after this
LED has switched OFF.
• During normal operation of the module this LED is ‘OFF’. In case of
an error condition such as e.g. a self-test error, the LED is switch
‘ON’.
