Description

meiPlatformExmpTempGet retrieves the internal temperature of the eXMP-SynqNet controller. This function should be used to poll the temperature to be sure it is within the allowable range. Hardware problems such as a broken fan, could cause the temperature of the eXMP to rise to a potentially unsafe level. When an unsafe temperature level has been detected, a shutdown routine should be executed by the motion application.

meiPlatformExmpTempInit(...) must be called once before polling with an meiPlatformExmpTempGet(...).

NOTE: This function is only supported on systems using an eXMP-SynqNet.

platform	the handle to the Platform object.
temp	the temperature (in Celsius) of the eXMP-SynqNet is returned in this variable.
