NGA2000 Reference
RSTATUS
Direction Output
Binding
None
Type
7-element enumerated array
Value range
OFF; ON; AUTO
Units None
Description
Shows the desired state of each relay power.
Usage
If TESTMODE element 2 is set to TEST, each element of RSTATUS determines
whether the associated relay is powered or not. If set to AUTO the relay is
powered or not depending on the state of its operating algorithm, if set to OFF or
ON the relay is forced into that state.

RSTATUS
SLOTPOSITION
Direction Output
Binding
None
Type Integer
Value range
0-7
Units None
Description
AIO only; shows the present position in the backplane of the 1/0 module
Usage
The NGA control module backplane is encoded with an arrangement of ground
connections that determine the slot position of the 1/0 module. The 1/0 module
circuitry detects this encoding and reports the position in this variable. Earlier
examples of the 1/0 module did not support this feature in hardware, in which
case the value of this variable will be 0 no matter where they are put.

MISC_INT
SUBNODE_BASE
Direction Output
Binding
None
Type String
Value range
29 characters.
Units None
Description
SCAL only; provides the base for the tags for each subnode.
Usage
The subnode tags are expected to be something like "System autocal for analyzer
1". The program adds the space and the number for each tag, so you could edit
this variable to "SCAL" and then the subnode tags would be "SCAL 1", SCAL 2"
etc. For this reason the length of the string in this variable is truncated to 29,
making it pointless to enter more letters than that!
