GX5296, GX5961, GX5964

Returns the number of boards in the domain.

GtDio6xGetBoardInfo (nHandle, nSlaveNum, pnBoardType, pnSlot, pnBoardFirstCh, pnNumberOfCh, pnStatus)

Name	Type	Comments
nHandle	SHORT	Session identifier: ● Board handle is used when communicating with the hardware. The Board handle session identifier is returned by calling GtDio6xInitialize or GtDio6xSetupInitialization.
nSlaveNum	SHORT	Specifies the slave number in the domain, slave number 0 refers to the master board.
pnBoardType	PSHORT	Returned the board type, board type can be as follows: ● GTDIO6X_BOARD_TYPE_INVALID = 0x00. ● GTDIO6X_BOARD_TYPE_GX5960 = 0x5960. ● GTDIO6X_BOARD_TYPE_GX5961 = 0x5961. ● GTDIO6X_BOARD_TYPE_GX5964 = 0x5964. ● GTDIO6X_BOARD_TYPE_GX5296 = 0x5296.
pnSlot	PSHORT	Returned chassis slot number.
pnBoardFirstCh	PSHORT	Returned the board’s first channel number relative to the domain.
pnNumberOfCh	PSHORT	Returned number of channels in the board, all boards have 32 channels unless GX5961 which has 16 channels.
pnStatus	PSHORT	Returned status: 0 on success, negative value on failure.

The following example gets the master board information:

SHORT nHandle, nBoardType, nSlot, nBoardFirstCh, nNumberOfCh;

SHORT nStatus;

GtDio6xGetBoardInfo(nHandle, 0, &nBoardType, &nSlot, &nBoardFirstCh, &nNumberOfCh, &nStatus);

printf(“Master board in slot %i”, nSlot);
