For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Just finished a quick-start card for a device with mode LEDs. I used circles: no fill = off, solid fill = on, and no fill with small solid dot in the center = blinking.
With four LEDS and four possible colors, it worked out nicely in a table with a legend at the top explaining the graphic. I can send you a copy off-list, if you like.

Subject: Graphics Question
Hi All,
I have a device with MODE LEDs. When they are constantly lit, it means one thing, when they are not lit, it means something else, and when they blink, it means another thing.
I have a graphic where I can show constant color, and obviously I can show non-lit LEDs pretty easily. But, how can I show a representation of a blinking LED? This is a print document, so animation will not work.
Thanks,
Megan
