What is the default state of the "Ready" LED on the DAQPad-6016?

[Zack Casella]

I am having trouble pinpointing why my .vi will not show me the status of an input.  The "Ready" LED on my DAQPad-6016 continues to flash and I receive the 200324 error.  This occured when I was resetting the power switch every few seconds when trying to troubleshoot.  In my MAX, the unit is shown with the red "X".  Resetting the power does not clear it.

Zack,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments. Which one of the following states are you seeing? The following is from the E Series Help:

The DAQPad-6015/6016 devices have two LEDs labeled ACTIVE and READY. The ACTIVE LED indicates activity over the bus. The READY LED indicates whether or not the device is configured. The DAQPAD-6015 BNC and mass termination devices have a READY LED only. The following table shows the behavior of the LEDs.

ACTIVE	READY	DAQPad-6015/6016 State
Off	Off	The device is not powered.
Off	On	The device is configured, but there is no activity over the bus.
On	On	The device is configured and there is activity over the bus.
Blinking	On
Off	Blinking	The device is not configured and there is no activity over the bus.
On	Blinking	The device is not configured, but there is activity over the bus.
Blinking	Blinking
Blinking simultaneously		Both LEDs blinking in the same pattern simultaneously indicates an error state. You must power off and power on your device.
Blinking alternately		If both LEDs blink in the same pattern alternately, contact National Instruments.

I recommend downloading and installing the NI-DAQmx drivers for that device to make sure you are using the latest drivers. Also, try the device on a different computer (if possible). Let us know your results after this.
