For 2012 I believe the Java methods referring to "Slot" numbers essentially mean the instance of the particular card you are trying to access. I think the same is true for how LabVIEW is identifying the modules. For example: in the 8 or 4 slot cRIO chassis the DIO module in slot position two would be identified to the program as "Slot"
1. A second DIO module in slot position 4 (on the cRIO II) or slot position 6 (on the cRIO) would be identified to the program as "Slot"
2.
I think this deviates from what "Slot" meant in the past: the actual physical position the card was at (i.e. slot
4 of 8 for previous years was the slot for the first DIO module)
Again this is just what I remember from beta test, and what I've observed from my testing. If I'm wrong, let me know so I can avoid headaches down the road.
