slot[X].endchannel.totalizer
Attribute
The ending channel that supports a totalizer.
Usage
end = slot[X].endchannel.totalizer
[X]: Slot number (1 to 6)
Remarks
This attribute does not exist for a slot if a card is not installed or the card installed
does not support totalizer channels. In these cases, the return value is nil. If
supported, the return value is a number representing the ending channel. If only one
channel supports totalizer, the ending channel matches the starting channel number.
Example
To query for starting totalizer channel on Slot 4:
EndTotalizerChan = slot[4].endchannel.totalizer
slot[X].endchannel.voltage
Attribute
The ending channel that supports voltage or 2-wire measurements.
Usage
end = slot[X].endchannel.voltage
[X]: Slot number (1 to 6)
Remarks
This attribute will not exist for a slot if a card is not installed or the card installed does
not support voltage channels. In these cases, the return value will be nil. If supported,
the return value will be a number representing the ending channel. If only one channel
supports voltage, the ending channel will match the starting channel number.
Example
To query for ending voltage channel on Slot 4:
EndVoltageChan = slot[4].endchannel.voltage
slot[X].idn
Attribute
Returns a string containing model number, description, firmware revision and serial
number of the card in slot X.
Usage
card_idn = slot[X].idn
[X]: Slot number (1 to 6)
Remarks
Returns a comma separated string that contains the model number, description,
firmware revision and serial number of the card installed in slot X. This attribute will
return a string indicating an empty slot if an actual card is not installed and if the slot is
not configured for a pseudo card.
For pseudocards, the response will be model number, description and firmware
revision. When queried, the return value will have "Pseudo" before the card
description. For example, if a Model 3720 Pseudocard is installed in Slot 3:
print(slot[3].idn) 3720,Pseudo Dual 1x30
Multiplexer,00.00a
Example
To query for idn information for the card in Slot 1:
card1_idn = slot[1].idn
