3 System Management
The PXES-2590 chassis provides advanced system monitoring
and control. Chassis conditions, including internal temperature,
fan speed, and DC voltage, are exported via smbus, allowing
detailed chassis status to be monitored on the system controller.
3.1 Installing the Monitor Utility
The remote monitoring utility and function library are provided on
the ADLINK All-in-One CD.
To install the monitoring utility:
1. Connect a USB CD-/DVD-ROM drive to the system con-
troller.
2. Place the ADLINK All-in-Once CD in the drive.
3. Locate the monitoring utility in the folder
X:\Driver Installation\PXI Platform\PXI chassis\PXES-
2590\FTP Monitor_PXES2590_V1.7.exe\
(where X: denotes the CD-ROM drive)
4. Double-click FTP Monitor_PXES2590_V1.7.exe to
begin installation.
3.2 Monitoring the PXES-2590
ADLINK provides a GUI program:
(FTP Monitor_PXES2590_V1.7.exe)
to monitor the status of the PXES-2590.
As shown, the utility is divided into three interface categories: Con-
nect Control, Threshold & Control, and Chassis Status.
CAUTION:
The FTP monitor utility can only be used with an
ADLINK PXI Express controller. A customized utility is
required for use with a 3rd party embedded controller.
Please see Section 4.3: Function Library if development
of a customized utility is desired.
