Document Number: 3700S-901-01 Rev. A / August 2007
Returns the maximum voltage supported by the card in slot X.
maxvolts = slot[X].maxvoltage
[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 have a maximum voltage setting. In these cases, the return value will be nil.
This attribute value represents the maximum voltage of all channels on a particular
slot.
To query the maximum voltage for card on Slot 2:
maxvolts2 = slot[2].maxvoltage
Indicates whether a card in slot X supports multiplexer channels or not.
mux_chans = slot[X].multiplexer
[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 multiplexer channels. In these cases, the return value will be nil. If
multiplexer channels are supported then, the returned value will be 1.
To query if Slot 1 supports multiplexer channels:
MuxChan1 = slot[1].multiplexer
Indicates if the card supports four-pole.
fourpole = slot[X].poles.four
[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 four-pole. In these cases, the return value will be nil. If supported then,
the return value will be 1.
Setting this attribute on an existing pattern involved in scanning invalidates the existing
scan list (the pattern may or may not be used in the current scan list). Creating a new
pattern is okay.
To query if Slot 3 supports four-pole:
FourPole3 = slot[3].poles.four
