CARDcage

Query

:CARDcage?

 

The CARDcage query returns a series of integers which identify the modules

 

that are installed in the mainframe. For an HP 16500C alone, the first five

 

numbers returned are the card identification numbers (–1 means no card is

 

in the slot). The remaining five numbers returned indicate the module

 

assignment (that is, the slot containing the master card of the module) for

 

each card. For single-card modules, the module assignment is the same as

 

the card’s slot. 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 (–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 10-3 lists the card identification numbers and their associated cards.
