Querying Device Temperature
Query the value of the Device Temperature property or the NIRFSG_ATTR_DEVICE_TEMPERATURE attribute to return the internal temperature of the PXI-5610.
Note The temperature sensor queried is within the PXI-5610 RF enclosure and contains an internal clock that is activated when the sensor is enabled. This clock can cause low-level close-in phase noise spurs, usually below -70 dBc that vary from unit to unit. For this reason, NI highly recommends that the temperature sensor not be continuously queried to maintain a cleaner spectrum.
Tip You can also query the temperature of the other modules, such as the AWG or LO source, within a multi-module device using NI-RFSG.
