Problem: How do I remotely monitor the voltage on the backplane of a PXI Chassis? Solution: Many National Instruments PXI chassis support remote CompactPCI voltage monitoring and inhibiting through a male 9-pin D-Sub connector, named DB-9, located on the rear panel. These chassis include the PXI-104x series, PXI-1052, and PXIe-1062. To see if your chassis supports voltage monitoring and control, refer to its manual. The following table shows the remote inhibit and voltage monitoring connector pinout for the above models. Other chassis models may have different connections.
 You can use the Inhibit signal (active low) to power off the chassis. To remotely power off the chassis, connect the Inhibit pin (pin 5) to a Logic Ground pin (pin 1 or 9). As long as this connection exists, the chassis will remain off (standby); when you remove this connection, the chassis turns on. Related Links: NI Product Manuals Attachments:
