Datalogger LED meanings?

milw

Hi all, I've just gotten my Datalogger working with the Prop Proto board, but I don't see anywhere an explanation of the Dataloggers LEDs. On a recent test run, I got the prompt from the Datalogger but then the USB stick's LED turned off and the Datalogger was flashing red. Am I missing something in the documentation?

Hello,

·· The LED response is really a function of the Vinculum Chip itself and not the Datalogger specifically.· Nonetheless I have made a note for a document revision for this product.· In the meantime here is the table from the documentation.· I hope this helps.· Take care.

thanks Chris! I looked in the Vinculum data sheet (http://www.vinculum.com/documents/datasheets/DS_VNC1L_V100 (FT_000030).pdf) as well as in the docs from the Datalogger product page but didn't see that table. Ah, OK I found it in the Vinculum Firmware User Manual (http://www.vinculum.com/documents/fwspecs/Vinculum Firmware User Manual V2.4 Rev 3.pdf), but Datalogger must be using LED1= green and LED2 = red?

Yeah, I can see the confusion and I will have the manual updated as soon as possible. I can hook one up and verify, but if you have one set up with the drive connected and powered up, one LED should be on which should be LED2. I hope this helps. Take care.

Yes, so it flashes green/red after power-up, then red stays on steady when USB stick is ready.
thanks again!
