PXI Chassis fan Control via LaabVIEW

[sidprabhu2014]

In this(https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/16/changing-the-fan-mode-programmatically-o...) document it says that we can control the PXI Chassis Fan speed programmatically. But i am unable to get the PXI Chassis Fan Control option.

I have installed NI System Configuration 18.0. I am running LabVIEW 2015 64bit. I am using NI PXI 1084 chassis.

Do i need to install any additional version?

If you do not also have the PXI Platform Services drive installed, you may not be able to work with your PXI system.  Install this and let me know if you can see your system.  

If this doesn't work, please come back with screenshots of what you're doing in your code.

Hey Tyler,

I already have NI PXI Platform Services 18.0 installed on my system. Attached is the image of all the things i can do with the System Hardware Property Node in LabVIEW 2015 64 bit.

I had the same problem. It seems that the necessary software support isn't installed by default.

I had to run the PXI Platform Services 18.0 installer again. Under the Features to Install section, I had to ensure that Install this feature to a local drive was set for NI PXI Platform Services 18.0 » Development Support.

This ensured that I had the appropriate property nodes available in LabVIEW.

Yup, i did reinstall the software & now it works perfectly.

Thanks.
