Measuring the Temperature of Your PXI Embedded Controller

[wa4ogi]

I need to be able to read the CPU & Motherboard temperatures of a PXI-8186 controller using LabVIEW 8.0.1.  I have found some code on the Developer Network that will perform this function under LabVIEW 7.1 (Measuring the Temperature of Your PXI Embedded Controller), but I am unable to convert this VI to LabVIEW 8.0.1 as there is no Block Diagram.  Does anyone have the source code for this VI or has anyone coded a VI that will perform these two functions using LabVIEW 8.0?

Thank you,

Hello william,

Attached is the VI for LabVIEW 8.0. It is identical to the one you found on the Developer Zone, but was compiled in LV8.0. You will still need to install the driver NI-SMbus (details are included in the readme.txt file in the zip file that could be found in the developer zone,Measuring the Temperature of Your PXI Embedded Controller). Thanks!

Thank you, Ayman K.  I installed the driver(s) and etc. as indicate from the pervious version for LV 7.1.  When I open the project I only see the vi’sI under RT.  Do you have a version for Windows (My computer)?

Hello William,

The Developer Zone document is not updated with the versions for LV 7.1, LV7.1.1 and LV8.0. Here is the link again Measuring the Temperature of the PXI-8196.
