NI 5610 Temperature Monitoring

Query the internal temperature of the NI 5610 upconverter module by calling the niRFSG Perform Thermal Correction VI or the niRFSG_PerformThermalCorrection function. The internal temperature and is also monitored by the hardware modules.

When the niRFSG Perform Thermal Correction VI or the niRFSG_PerformThermalCorrection function is called, NI-RFSG checks the temperature to adjust the output level to correct for changes in temperature. Separately, a state machine built into the hardware monitors the temperature of the RF enclosure for thermal shutdown conditions that could damage the equipment.
