slot[X].startchannel.amps
Attribute
The starting channel that supports amps measurements.
Usage
start = slot[X].startchannel.amps
[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 amps channels. In these cases, the return value will be nil. If supported,
the return value will be a number representing the starting channel.
Example
To query for starting amps channel on Slot 4:
StartAmpsChan = slot[4].startchannel.amps
slot[X].startchannel.analogoutput
Attribute
The starting channel that supports digital analog output (DAC).
Usage
start = slot[X].startchannel.analogoutput
[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 analog output channels. In these cases, the return value is nil. If
supported, the return value is a number representing the starting channel.
Example
To query for starting analog output channel on Slot 4:
StartAnalogOutputChan = slot[4].startchannel.analogoutput
slot[X].startchannel.digitalio
Attribute
The starting channel that supports digital input and output.
Usage
start = slot[X].startchannel.digitalio
[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 digital I/O channels. In these cases, the return value is nil. If supported,
the return value is a number representing the starting channel.
Example
To query for starting digital input channel on Slot 4:
StartDigitalIOChan = slot[4].startchannel.digitalio
slot[X].startchannel.isolated
Attribute
The starting channel that supports isolated measurements.
Usage
start = slot[X].startchannel.isolated
[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 isolated channels. In these cases, the return value will be nil. If supported,
the return value will be a number representing the starting channel.
Example
To query for starting isolated channel on Slot 4:
StartIsolatedChan = slot[4].startchannel.isolated
