3    System Management & Configuration

The  PXIe-62780  chassis  provides  advanced  system  monitoring  and  control.  Chassis  

conditions,  including  internal  temperature, fan  speed, and DC voltage can all be monitored 

on the system controller or remote PC. 
The PXIe-62780 provides software configurable trigger bus bridges, whereby the user can 

set the status of each trigger bus line as shown in Figure 1-13. The PXIe-62780 backplane 

can also be configured between 4-link x 4 lanes or 2-link x 8 lanes by the configurable PCIe 

switch fabric.
Communication with the chassis monitoring control unit is available using an embedded 

controller, such as the JYTEK PXIe-63975, to access the SMBus located on the system slot 

(1st slot), or, alternatively, using a remote PC to communicate via the RS232 serial port 

(D-SUB9 connector on the rear panel). 
Please note that the RS-232 serial port can only monitor chassis status, but does not provide 

the capability to change the trigger bus bridges and PCIe switch fabric settings. Function 

comparison between the SMBus interface and RS-232 serial port is as follows.

3�1    Installing the Monitor Utility

Download JYTEK PXI Platform Services driver from http://www.jytek.com
To install the monitoring utility:

1. Open PXI Platform Services drive folder which downloads from JYTEK website.
2. Double-click the JYTEK PXI Platform Services Setup.exe file to begin installation.

The PXIe-62780 Chassis Remote Monitoring utility is only compatible with JYTEK PXI 

Express controllers such as the PXIe-63975. 3rd party embedded controllers require 

dedicate programming to enable system monitoring, as listed in the PXIe-62780 

Function Library Reference documentation, or use of a remote PC to monitor the 

PXIe-62780 via RS-232 serial port.
