Hi,

I am new member of this forum and i find some information for school project with labview. I am asking you, if i can monitor CPU temperature in any computer. Now i have laptop (Lenovo SL 400) and i need to monitor temperature or any parameters such as CPU clock, HDD temperature or others. CPU temperature is most important.

I am using OS windows XP and Labview 8.5.x for studying purpose only. Is anythink solution for me how read this temperature from notebooks hardware ?

pls help

A quick google search (which you should do too) shows that you can get the data through the standard chip/motherboard api's, you just have to know what motherboard/temp sensor chip is installed.

That is all the help I will give you since it is a school project, and you need to learn how to do it yourself.

If you start coding and get stuck, then post back with some code, and what you are stuck on.

If you are really keen you should be able to get that info off the SMBus (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Management_Bus).

I think it is also accessible through a win API (see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394493.aspx).

A quick Google search also revealed the following link: http://temperature.myweb.hinet.net/index_en.htm , but I havent tested or even looked at the source code, so I have no idea if it works or not.

Hi,

If i run winbond.exe i see specific temperatures, but i dont know how apply the C# code and use this driver in LabView. Or how apply information from http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en...4-c492124bc029/ to labview.
