Shutting down PXI-1042

[sherzaad]

Hello,

I have a PXI-1042 with a PXI8840 controller running on windows.

When I shutdown window  the controller 'shuts down' but the chassis keeps running and I physically require to press the power button to switch it off.

Question:

Is it possible to power down the chassis via the controller itself once it shuts down (ie when I as windows to shutdown)

Thank you for request my post! 🙂

PXIe (PCIe) has access to a wake signal which enables the system’s main power rails and reference clocks. The controller handles the wake signal and controls the power-up state of PXIe chassis.

This signal and feature are not available in PXI (PCI).
