  • Communication of device-related information after assembly
    Patent number: 6628203
    Abstract: Device-related information is communicated from a device to external equipment, such as test equipment as part of final production of the device. This is done by generating a modulated signal (e.g., by pulse code modulation) that represents the device-related information, and supplying the modulated signal to an indicator light in the device, whereby the indicator light generates a modulated light signal that conveys the device-related information. The indicator light may be a light emitting diode that, during normal operation of the device, indicates a status condition of the device, such as whether the device is on or off.
