slot[X].pseudocard
Attribute
Specifies the corresponding pseudo card to implement for the designated slot.
Usage
To read pseudo card for slot:
pseudocard = slot[X].pseudocard
[X]: Slot number (1 to 6)
To write pseudo card for slot:
slot[X].pseudocard = pseudocard
[X]: Slot number (1 to 6)
Set pseudocard to one of the following values
slot.PSEUDO_NONE or 0 for no pseudocard selection
slot.PSEUDO_3720 or 3720 for Model 3720 Dual 1x30 Multiplexer card
simulation
slot.PSEUDO_3721 or 3721 for Model 3721 Dual 1x20 Multiplex card
simulation
slot.PSEUDO_3722 or 3722 for Model 3722 Dual 1x48 Multiplexer card
simulation
slot.PSEUDO_3723 or 3723 for Model 3723 Dual 1x30 Reed Multiplexer card
simulation
slot.PSEUDO_3724 or 3724 for Model 3724 Dual 1x30 FET Multiplexer card
simulation
slot.PSEUDO_3730 or 3730 for Model 3730 6 x 16 High Density Matrix card
simulation
slot.PSEUDO_3740 or 3740 for Model 3740 32-Channel Isolated Switch card
simulation
slot.PSEUDO_3750 or 3750 for Model 3750 Multifunction I/O card
Remarks
This attribute only exists for a slot if that slot has no card installed in it. Therefore,
trying to use this attribute for a slot with an installed card generates an error when
writing and nil response when reading. After assigning a pseudo card, the valid
commands and attributes based on that pseudo card now exist for that slot. For
example, the slot[X].idn attribute is valid.
Changing a slot's pseudocard card definition from a card to none invalidates an
existing scan list.
Details
The response to an idn query is model number, description, and firmware revision.
When queried, the return value has "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
Sets the pseudo card of Slot 6 for Model 3720 card simulation:
slot[6].pseudocard = slot.PSEUDO_3720
