Attaching External LEDs

Seven connectors on the device in the E1 part —1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7— allow you to connect an external LED circuit to the device, as shown in Figure 10.

For example, to connect an external USB READY LED, use 7 as the positive connection (+5 V) and 3 and the negative connection.

To connect the remaining LEDs, refer to Table 3.

National Instruments recommends that you limit the current to 10 mA per LED. You can limit this current by using external resistors, as shown in Figure 9.
