Device Information:Device Temperature (deg C)
- Updated2025-10-13
- 2 minute(s) read
Returns the current temperature of the module. This value is expressed in degrees Celsius.
To use this property for PXIe-5830/5831/5832, you must first use the Selector string property to specify the name of the channel you are configuring. When you are reading the device temperature, you must specify the context in the Selector String input as "module::<ModuleName>". You can also use the RFmxInstr Build Module String VI to build the module string. For all other devices, the only valid value for the selector string is "" (empty string).
On a MIMO session, use "port::<deviceName>/<channelNumber>" as the selector string to read this property. You can use the RFmxInstr Build Port String VI to build the selector string. For PXIe-5830/5831/5832, you must specify the context in the selector string input as port::<deviceName>/<channelNumber>/module::<moduleName>.
Refer to the following table to determine which strings are valid for your configuration.
