sbRIO-9607 Chassis Temperature

[Tony_UK]

I'm looking to measure the chassis temperature and from within MAX I can see a temperature measurement. After searching the web I found this link

How Do I Read the Onboard Temperature Sensors on My sbRIO-9651 System on Module?

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/1A6D7C61349293C986257D80004F56BF

I know it's a different device but I did find the same property node in my LabVIEW Real Time. When I add the System Resources:Temperature Sensors:Readings onto my application the program won't compile and returns Property Node: Contains unwired or bad terminal.

The web link was making reference to NI-RIO version 14.0.0 where as I'm on version 15.5. The loaded firmware version is 4.0.0f0.

I also tried the Example to measure the Temperature where it is using the Onboard I/O "Chassis Temperature" but when I look in the Onboard I/O for my system there is no Chassis Temperature just the FPGA LED, Scan Clock, Sleep and System Reset

I'm missing something here any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

You need to wire the reference input on the property node. The reference is created by this VI:

You should have example code here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 20xx\examples\CompactRIO\Chassis Specific\sbRIO-96x7 Read On-Board Temperatures\sbRIO-96x7 Read On-Board Temperatures (RT).vi

Thank you for your feedback and the example clarifies what to do and I have it all working now.

Can i get some info regarding Chassis.

Where can i find the location of chassis detection file(.ini)  to detect in NI Max. There are multiple place.

Thank You.
