This attribute will not exist for a slot if a card is not installed or the card installed does
not support detecting an interlock break. In these cases, the return value will be nil.
Use this attribute to query the interlock state for cards that support detecting interlock
break.
To query the interlock state on Slot 3:
print(slot[3].interlock.state)
Indicates whether a card in slot X supports isolated channels or not.
isolated _chans = slot[X].isolated
[X]: Slot number (1 to 6)
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 isolated
channels are supported then, the returned value will be 1.
To query if Slot 1 supports isolated channels:
IsolatedChan1 = slot[1].isolated
Indicates whether a card in slot X supports matrix channels or not.
matrix = slot[X].matrix
[X]: Slot number (1 to 6)
This attribute will not exist for a slot if a card is not installed or the card installed does
not support matrix channels. In these cases, the return value will be nil. If matrix
channels are supported then, the returned value will be 1.
To query if Slot 1 supports matrix channels:
Matrix1 = slot[1].matrix
Returns the maximum settling time needed by the card in slot X.
maxstime = slot[X].maxsettlingtime
[X]: Slot number (1 to 6)
This attribute will not exist for a slot if a card isn't installed or the card installed doesn't
have a maximum settling time value. In these cases, the return value will be nil.
This attribute value represents the maximum settling time of all channels on a
particular slot. It is the worse case value for that slot.
To query the maximum settling time for card on Slot 2:
maxstime2 = slot[2].maxsettlingtime
