LEDs

The NI PXIe-5114 has two LEDs to indicate status: Access and Active.

Access LED

The Access LED indicates basic hardware status, as listed in the following table.

ColorIndications
Off Module is not yet functional, or the module has detected a problem with a power rail.
Amber The module is being accessed.
Green The module is ready to be programmed by NI-SCOPE.

Active LED

The Active LED indicates the module state, as listed in the following table.

Color Indications
Off Module is not armed, triggered, or acquiring a waveform.
Amber The module is armed and waiting for a Trigger.
Green The module has received a Reference (Stop) Trigger. Also indicates that the module is acquiring a waveform.
Red The module has detected an error. NI-SCOPE must access the module to determine the cause of the error. The LED remains red until the error condition is removed. Example errors include the following:
  • PLL unlocked—The module has detected an unlocked condition on a previously locked PLL. A PLL that is unlocked while in reset does not show an error.
  • External sample clock error—The module is unable to detect the external sample clock.
  • Overvoltage error—The module has detected a 50 Ω overvoltage error.
Note   Certain driver interactions may cause the Active LED to flash red. An error condition does not exist unless the Active LED remains red.

Connectors

The NI 5114 has the following six connectors on the front panel.

Connector DescriptionFunction
CH 0, CH 1Standard BNC connectorAnalog input connection; digitizes data and triggers acquisitions
TRIGStandard BNC connectorExternal analog trigger connection; signals on the TRIG connector cannot be digitized
CLK INSMB jackImports an external reference or sample clock to the digitizer
AUX I/O9-pin mini-circular DIN connectorProvides access to the external digital trigger lines, PFI 0 and PFI 1 (with optional cable)
