Device Characteristics:Device Temperature (Degrees C) Property

Short Name: Device Temperature (Degrees C)

Property of niRFSG

Returns the device temperature. If the NI-RFSG session is controlling multiple devices, this property returns the temperature of the primary RF device. The NI-RFSG session is opened using the primary RF device name.

Serial signals between the sensor and the system control unit can potentially modulate the signal being generated, thus causing phase spurs. After the device thoroughly warms up, its temperature varies only slightly (less than 1 degree Celsius) and slowly, and it is not necessary to constantly poll this temperature sensor.

PXIe-5644/5645/5646, PXIe-5820/5840/5841: If you query this property during RF list mode, list steps may take longer to complete during list execution.

PXIe-5830/5831/5832: To use this property, you must first set the Active Channel property using the appropriate string for your instrument configuration. Setting the Active Channel property is not required for the PXIe-3621/3622. Refer to the following table to determine which strings are valid for your configuration.
