NI 5650/5651/5652 Module Front Panel

The following figure shows the NI 5650/5651/5652 module front panel, which contains two connectors and two multicolor LEDs.

The following table provides connector and use information for the NI 5650/5651/5652 module front panel connectors:

Connector Use
RF OUT Generates the RF signal at the requested frequency and power level.
REF IN/OUT  Routes a frequency reference signal to or from the NI 5650/5651/5652. This connector can be configured as an external frequency reference input or as an output for the onboard 10 MHz reference clock.



The following table provides information about the NI 5650/5651/5652 module front panel LEDs and the device states they indicate:

LED Indications
ACCESS Indicates the basic hardware status of the NI 5650/5651/5652 module.

OFF—The module is not yet functional or has detected a problem with a PXI power rail.

AMBER—The module is being accessed.

GREEN—The module is ready to be programmed.
ACTIVE Indicates the state of the NI 5650/5651/5652 hardware module:

OFF—The module is in an uninitialized state; there is no error.

AMBER—The module PLLs are attempting to lock.

GREEN—The module is generating a signal; applicable PLLs are locked.

RED—The module has detected an error state; this may indicate lock failure in an applicable PLL, self-test failure or calibration failure, or a thermal shutdown condition.
