The following table describes the STATUS LED indicators.

Table 7. STATUS LED Indicators
LED Pattern Indication
Blinks twice and pauses

The NI-9147 is in safe mode. Software is not installed, which is the factory default state, or software has been improperly installed on the NI-9147.

An error can occur when an attempt to upgrade the software is interrupted. Reinstall software on the NI-9147. Refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) Help for information about installing software on the NI-9147.

Blinks three times and pauses

The NI-9147 is in user-directed safe mode, or the NI-9147 is in install mode to indicate that software is currently being installed.

This pattern may also indicate that the user has forced the NI-9147 to boot into safe mode by pressing the reset button for longer than five seconds or by enabling safe mode in MAX. Refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) Help for information about safe mode.

Blinks four times and pauses The NI-9147 is in safe mode. The software has crashed twice without rebooting or cycling power between crashes.
Continuously blinks The NI-9147 has not booted into NI Linux Real-Time. The NI-9147 either booted into an unsupported operating system, was interrupted during the boot process, or detected an unrecoverable software error.
On momentarily The NI-9147 is booting. No action required.
Off The NI-9147 is in run mode. Software is installed and the operating system is running.

User LED

You can define the USER FPGA1 LED to meet the needs of your application. The following table lists the USER FPGA1 LED indicators.

Table 8. User LEDs
LED LED Color Description
USER FPGA1 Green/Yellow Use the LabVIEW FPGA Module and NI-RIO Device Drivers software to define the USER FPGA1 LED. Use the USER FPGA1 LED to help debug your application or retrieve application status. Refer to the LabVIEW Help for information about programming this LED.
