FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Which chassis support the PXI-8250?

NI lists the PXI-1042, PXI-1042Q and PXI-1045.

Does the PXI-8250 require software for local status indication?

No. NI states that the six status LEDs, relay and front-panel power-rail connections operate without NI System Monitor software.

Which API does NI document for programmatic monitoring?

The PXI Platform Services 18.0 readme directs applications to the NI System Configuration API rather than the older NI System Monitor API. It identifies version 3.2.1 as the first PXI Platform Services release supporting the PXI-8250 through this API. Verify the complete software and operating-system combination separately.
