34980A User’s Guide 209
A 34945EXT remote module is shown below.
Each 34945EXT has an I/O Access LED used to indicate transactions
between the 34980A mainframe and the 34945EXT module. When power is
first applied to a 34945EXT module, this LED is continuously illuminated
indicating that power has been applied.
After the module has booted, the LED illuminates only intermittently
during interactions from the Mainframe.
Should the mainframe encounter problems communicating with the
34945EXT the LED is continuously illuminated.
