Figure 7-2. The 34945EXT Module.
Each 34945EXT has an I/O Access LED used to indicate transactions
between the L4445A and the 34945EXT module. When power is first
applied to a 34945EXT module, this LED is continuously illuminated.
After the module has booted, the LED illuminates only intermittently
during programming operations.
Should the L4445A encounter problems communicating with the 34945EXT
the LED is continuously illuminated.

Always tighten the screws securing the L4445A sub-assembly to the
instrument carrier assembly, and the screws on both ends of the D-Sub
cable. Incorrect grounding can cause malfunctions of the modules due to
electro-static discharge.
