Query :CARDcage?
The CARDcage query returns a series of integers which identifies the
modules that are installed in the mainframe. For an HP 16500B alone, the
first five numbers returned are the card identification numbers (a –1 means
no card is in the slot). The remaining five numbers returned indicate the
module assignment for each card. The possible values for the module
assignment are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 where 0 indicates an empty slot or the
module software is not recognized or not loaded. 1...5 indicates the number
of the slot in which the master card for this card is located.
When an HP 16501A is connected, the first ten numbers returned are the
card identification numbers (a –1 means no card is in the slot). The
remaining ten numbers returned indicate the module assignment for each
card. The possible values for the module assignment are 0 through 10 where
0 indicates an empty slot or the module software is not recognized or not
loaded. 1...10 indicates the number of the slot in which the master card for
this card is located.
Table 9-2 lists the card identification numbers for the first five parameters
and their associated cards.
