Caution Do not power-off the GPIB-ENET/1000 or disconnect the power supply while
updating the firmware. Doing so could damage the unit. The GPIB-ENET/1000 reboots
automatically when the update completes.
1. Launch Measurement & Automation Explorer.
2. Expand Devices and Interfaces and Network Devices.
3. Right-click the GPIB-ENET/1000 to be updated and select Device
Configuration. The GPIB-ENET/1000 Configuration Web page
should launch.
4. On the Web page, click Update under Firmware in the Details
section.
READY LED Signaling
The READY LED blinks red slowly in a distinct pattern to alert you of
internal errors. Use this section to interpret and record the pattern that the
READY LED flashes, and then contact National Instruments.
Note By recording the READY LED status messages before calling National
Instruments, you can save yourself time, and the Product Support Department can answer
your questions more accurately and efficiently. Do not switch off power to your
GPIB-ENET/1000 before recording the flashing READY LED pattern.
READY LED signaling can report up to 81 different errors. The errors are
numbered from 11 to 99 and are reported through sequences of READY
LED flashes.
Note There is no zero in any error message. This means that error message numbers 0–10,
20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 are not possible.
Step 1. Count the Long Flashes
A three-second interval, during which the READY LED is off, separates
each repetition of the sequence. The sequence begins with a series of long
one-second flashes—that is, one second red, one second off. These long
flashes represent the digit in the tens column. There can be one to nine long
flashes, which represent digits 1 through 9. For example, one long flash
represents the digit 1 in the tens column, and nine long flashes represent the
digit 9 in the tens column.
