Configuring LED Blocks

You use the LEDs on the evaluation module as indicators for your process. For example, you might use an LED to indicate that your algorithm has completed a specified calculation or reached a particular point in the processing.

To use an LED as an indicator, add an LED block to your model, and send a nonzero signal to the block to light the specified LED--either internal or external. Any nonzero scalar sent to the LED block lights the LED and keeps it lit until the block receives a scalar with zero value. The zero value scalar turns off the selected LED.

Since the C6701 EVM provides two LEDs, you can use two C6701 EVM LED blocks--one for each user status LED on the board. Although the C6711 DSK offers three user defined LEDs, the C6711 DSK LED block treats all three as one LED, enabling them as a group. For this reason you can include only one C6711 DSK LED block in a model.

Select the Target LED (C6701 EVM LED Block Only)

Double-clicking the C6701 EVM LED block opens the dialog shown here.

When you add an C6701 EVM LED block to your model, you select which LED the block controls--internal or external. Select External to have the C6701 EVM LED block trigger the LED located on the C6701 EVM mounting bracket at the back of your PC. To trigger the internal LED located on the C6701 EVM board internally, select Internal for the LED option.
