#### Details

When the Supervisor starts up, it loads all board plug-ins and EMCs that it finds. The Supervisor adds the name of each plug-in to the BoardPlugins[x] array keyword. The name of a given plug-in is its file name. This name matches the value of the Name keyword in the plug-in's managed object.

To determine the number of names in BoardPlugins[x], retrieve the value of BoardPlugins.Count.

The Supervisor looks for plug-ins and EMCs in the nms\bin directory (/opt/nms/lib under UNIX). Plug-in files have the .bpi extension. EMC files have the emc extension.
