PXI Temperature Monitor

Hardware: PXI/CompactPCI

Problem:
Is there an application available to monitor and display the temperature of my PXI system?

Solution:
There is no application included with the PXI systems which monitors and displays temperature.  However, the NI System Monitor is a free API which can be used to programmatically monitor many operating parameters of PXI chassis/controllers. 

The NI System Monitor can be used to develop a custom application.  For example, you could simply display the intake temperature of the chassis and log it to a file.  Another example would to sound an alarm in case of a fan malfunction.

If you are looking for a general application, you can download the attached executable.  This executable can be used to display temperature, fan speed, voltage, CPU info and CPU usage of a PXI system.



Note: You will need to install the LabVIEW 8.6 Runtime Engine and the NI System Monitor to run the executable.

Note: System Monitor 1.0 supports PXIe-1065, PXIe-1062, PXIe-8130, PXIe-8106, PXIe-8105, PXI-8106, PXI-8105
