Switch Detect
Description This method starts the detection process of all the switches
connected to the system.
Syntax object.Detect
Parameters None
Response A Variant containing an array of strings. Each element of the
array can be accessed by using an index:
Returned_array (Index)
The detection process first checks for the presence of all EXFO
IQS switches and then scans the GPIB bus for the presence of
external switches. The contents of each string depends on the
brand of the switches that have been detected, i.e. EXFO or
external switches.
The following table presents the possible content for the
returned strings.
Note that the terms in italics are module-specific.
Switch brand String content
