The LEDs show the current status of the GPIB-ENET/100. Table 1-1
describes each LED.

NI-488.2 Overview

The NI-488.2 software for Mac OS is a comprehensive set of programs
and drivers. It simplifies the job of programming the GPIB-ENET/100 to
function as an IEEE 488.2 (GPIB) Controller with complete
communication and bus management capabilities.

NI-488.2 also includes a GPIB interactive control utility; the Macintosh
Programmer’s Workshop (MPW) C, THINK C, and Metrowerks
CodeWarrior C language interfaces; and a shared library for
C programmers developing applications for the PowerPC platform.
