    3.2.3 LED Indicator Status Description The USB Module is equipped with a LED indicator to show the current status of the device. When you plug the USB device into the USB port, the LED indicator will blink five times and then stay lit to indicate that it is on.
  • Page 22: Analog Input Connections

    A signal source without a local ground is also called a “floating source”. It is fairly simple to connect a single-ended channel to a floating signal source. In this mode, USB-4711A provides a reference ground for exter- nal floating signal sources.

    3.5 Trigger Source Connections 3.5.1 Internal Pacer Trigger Connection USB-4711A provides two 16-bit counters connected to a 10 MHz clock. Counter 0 is a counter that counts events from an input channel. Counter 1 is a 16-bit timer for pacer triggering. A low-to-high edge from the Counter 1 output will trigger an A/D conversion on USB-4711A.
