Programming Reference
command/query
The LABel command
you to specify polarity and assign channels to
new or existing labels. If the specified label name does not match an
existing label name, a new label will be created.
The order of the pod-specification parameters is significant. The first one
listed will match the highest-numbered pod assigned to the machine
you’re using. Each pod specification after that is assigned to the
next-highest-numbered pod. This way they match the left-to-right
descending order of the pods you see on the Format display. Not
including enough pod specifications results in the lowest-numbered
pod(s) being assigned a value of zero (all channels excluded). If you
include more pod specifications than there are pods for that machine, the
extra ones will be ignored. However, an error is reported anytime more
than five pod specifications are listed.
The polarity can be specified at any point after the label name.
Since pods contain
16
channels, the format value for a pod must be
between 0 and 65535
When giving the pod assignment in binary
(base
each bit will correspond to a single channel. A “1” in a bit
position means the associated channel in that pod is assigned to that pod
and bit. A
in a bit position means the associated channel in that pod is
excluded from the label. For example, assigning
is
equivalent to entering . . . . . . * * * *
* through the front-panel user
interface.
A label can not have a total of more than 32 channels assigned to it.
The LABel query returns the current specification for the selected (by
name) label. If the label does not exist, nothing is returned. Numbers are
always returned in decimal format.
