Details
For digital I/O channels, only a width of 1, 2, 3, or 4 is supported. Any information (bits) greater than
the specified width is returned as zero. For example, if channels 1 and 2 are both 255, a reading
with a width of 1 returns 255 and a width of 2 with channel 1 returns 65535. Values read from
outputs reflect their current setting. If the read channel is in the overload state, the read value is
indeterminate.
For widths greater than 1, the specified channel occupies the least significant byte. For example,
reading the value 4293844224 (hex ffeedd00) from channel 1 with a width of 4 indicates channel 1
is 0 (hex 0), channel 2 is 221 (hex dd), channel 3 is 238 (hex ee), and channel 4 is 255 (hex ff).
Reading the value of 0 (hex 0) from channel 1 with a width of 1 indicates channel 1 is 0 (hex 0) and
other channels are not included. Totalizer and DAC channels do not support a width other than 1
and result in an error if specified.
Switch and backplane channels are not supported.
For a channel with a power state of OFF, the returned value is DISABLED.
Example
count = channel.read("1006")
Read the count from the first totalizer
channel (channel 6) in slot 1, assuming a
3750.
