Slot-Select Register
The Slot-Select Register contains 16 bits that determine which module in which chassis is
enabled for communication when the SLOT0SEL* line is high. An SCXI-1000 chassis selects
the appropriate module in its chassis, regardless of the chassis number written. The Slot-Select
Register shifts in the data present on the MOSI line, bit 16 first, when SLOT0SEL* is low.
