slot[slot].thermal.state
This attribute indicates the thermal state of the card in the specified slot.
Usage
value = slot[slot].thermal.state
0 if thermal conditions will not affect specifications
1 if thermal conditions are getting warm enough to affect specifications
Details
This attribute is only available for a slot if a card is installed and if the installed card supports thermal
state detection. If thermal state detection is not available, the return value is nil.
Example
print(slot[3].thermal.state)
Query the thermal state on slot 3. If
specifications might be affected by the
thermal state, the output is:
1.000000000e+00

slot[slot].idn (on page 11-362)
status.condition
This attribute stores the status byte condition register.
Usage
statusByte = status.condition
The status byte; a zero (0) indicates no bits set; other values indicate various bit
settings
Details
This attribute is used to read the status byte, which is returned as a numeric value. The binary
equivalent of the value of this attribute indicates which register bits are set. In the binary equivalent,
the least significant bit is bit B0, and the most significant bit is bit B7. For example, if a value of
1.29000e+02 (which is 129) is read as the value of this register, the binary equivalent is 1000 0001.
This value indicates that bit B0 and bit B7 are set.
