6.3 Card Mask, Channel Mask, and Recording Group Mask Notation
The System 7000 scanner has a control module, a power module, and 1 to 16 input cards.
Card Mask
In order to specify which cards are acted upon, some methods have a Card Mask
argument. The CardMask is configured as:
31-16
15 14
13
12
11
10
9
8
7
6
5
4
3

0x0000

12
11
10 9
8

2
1
Card
(1 = included, 0=excluded)
For example, a card mask of 0x0804 (0b0000 1000 0000 0100) will cause the method to
act on cards 3 and 12.
Note that for 4-slot scanners, all bits except 0 through 3 should be 0.
Channel Mask
In order to specify which channels (on a card) are acted upon, some methods have a
Channel Mask argument. The Channel Mask is configured as:
31-8
7
6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Bit
Set to 0
8
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Channel
(1 = included, 0=excluded)
For example, a channel mask of 0x00000005 will cause the method to act on channels 1
and 3.
Recording Group Mask
Recording Groups are often used in methods that configure recording options. The Group Mask
is configured as:
31-4
3
2 1 0
Bit
Set to 0
D C B A Group
(1 = included, 0=excluded)
For example, a group mask of 0x00000009 will cause the configuration to be performed
for Groups A and D.
