Each CoaXPress connection is associated with a LED lamp mounted on the bracket (for PCie cards only).

The LampMode feature of the Interface module defines the lamps operation mode:

● When set to Standard (default value), the lamps indicate the state of the CoaXPress Link connection.
● When set to Dark, all lamps are turned off.
● When set to Error, all lamps are turned off unless error conditions are detected.
● When set to Custom, all lamps are controlled by LampCustomValue, a bitfield where each bit is mapped onto a lamp with 1 for orange and 0 for off by the LampCustomLedA … LampCustomLedH boolean features.
