Usage

poles
Returns a comma-separated string of the poles, based on channelList; can be:
▪ One-pole: 1
▪ Two-pole: 2
▪ Four-pole: 4
channelList
A string listing the channels to query for their pole settings
Details
channelList can contain "slotX", where X is 1 to 6, or "allslots".
When the channel list parameter for this function is "slotX", the response first lists the channels
starting from lowest to highest.
When the channel list parameter for this function is "allslots", the response starts with slot 1 and
increases to slot 6. Each slot is processed completely before going to the next. All slot 1 channels are
listed before slot 2 channels.
The response is the numeric value representing the pole selection and not the text. For example, 4-
pole selection is 4 and not channel.POLES_FOUR.
An error message is generated if:
• An empty parameter string is specified.
• The specified channel does not exist for card installed in slot.
• Parameter syntax error such as incorrect format for channelList.
• A channel pattern was specified.
• An analog backplane relay was specified.
• Channel does not support pole setting like a digital I/O.
Command processing stops as soon as an error is detected. No partial list is returned. If an error is
detected or the slot is empty, the response is nil.
Digital I/O, DAC, backplane, and totalizer channels are not supported.
