Hazardous voltages may be present on modules. Prevent
electrical shock by covering all unused slots and securely
fastening all faceplates.

The Enhanced Monitor is a separate PC board that plugs into the VXI
backplane from the rear of the mainframe. In this way it does not occupy a
user slot on the front of the mainframe. The Enhanced Monitor uses a
standard-defined P1 Connector but a uniquely-defined P2 Connector. It is a
message-based, slave-only VXI interface card, complete with its own VXI
logical address. Refer to Chapter 3 of this manual for SCPI programming
information. This section provides general information about the Enhanced
Monitor.
RS-232 Interface supports communication with a terminal or
computer for remote monitoring purposes only. Refer to Chapter 3 for
SCPI programming information.
-- All SCPI command are supported by the RS-232 interface.
-- The RS-232 interface is set-up only through SCPI commands.
Settings are stored in non-volatile memory. Factory defaults
are:

-- A user-defined limit can be set, default is 55 °C.
-- Limit is restored from non-volatile memory at power-on.
-- When the limit is exceeded, the monitor generates a warning
on the display, sets a status bit, the temperature LED flashes,
and the beeper sounds (if enabled).

power supply loading.
-- If the temperature exceeds an expected level, the monitor
generates a warning on the display, sets a status bit, the power
supply LED flashes, and the beeper sounds (if enabled).
