Solution
The maximum safe working temperature for the
PXIe-517x family is dependent on environmental conditions and the device itself.
To find the thermal shutdown temperature of the device, the library of
Configuration Host VIs should be used. In particular, the output of "Read Temperature.vi" specifies the thermal shutdown limit of the FPGA sensor. These VIs are included in the
LabVIEW Instrument Design Libraries for Reconfigurable Oscilloscopes.
The
specifications document for the PXIe-517x lists an ambient temperature range of 0-45
⁰C. This indicates the range of environmental temperatures that are safe for the device.
The nominal and measured specifications are valid under room temperature (approximately 23
⁰C) unless other wise stated.
