status.system5.*
.condition
.enable
.event
Attribute
TSP-Link system5 data structure register set.
Usage
To read condition, enable and event registers:
enablereg = status.system5.condition
enablereg = status.system5.enable
enablereg = status.system5.event
To write to enable register:
status.system5.enable = enablereg
Set enablereg to one of the following values:
0
Clears all bits.
To set EXT bit (B0):
1
or
status.system5.EXTENSION_BIT
- or -
1
or
status.system5.EXT
To set a node bit (Bn); n = 57 to 64.
status.system5.NODEn
Remarks
In an expanded system (TSP- Link), this attribute is used to read or write to the
system5 node registers.
Reading a system5 node register returns a numeric value whose binary equivalent
indicates which register bits are set. The bits of the system5 node register are
identified as follows:
Bit B0 - EXT bit
Bit B4 - Node 60 Bit B8 - Node 64
Bit B1 - Node 57 Bit B5 - Node 61 Bits B9 through B15 - Not used
Bit B2 - Node 58 Bit B6 - Node 62
Bit B3 - Node 59 Bit B7 - Node 63
For example, assume value 9 is returned for the enable register. The binary equivalent
is 0000000000001001. This value indicates that bit 0 (EXT) and bit 3 (Node 59) are
set.
Assigning a value to the status.system5.enable attribute sets the extension bit or a
node bit of the system5 node enable register.

Example
Sets the extension bit of the system5 enable register:
status.system5.enable = status.system5.EXT
