Example 2
channel.setforbidden("3003, 3005, 3925")
Forbidden =
channel.getforbidden("slot3")
print(Forbidden)
Set channels 3 and 5 and analog backplane
relay 5 in bank 2 to forbidden to close on
slot 3.
Query for the channels and analog backplane
relays that are forbidden to close on slot 3.
Sample output:
3003,3005,3925
Example 3
Forbidden =
channel.getforbidden("1911:1916" ..
",2004,2008,2012")

relays in a specified list. This list is only
checking channels and analog backplane
relays 1 to 6 on slot 1 and channels 4, 8 and
12 on slot 2 and returning the channels and
analog backplane relays that are forbidden to
close.

Usage
channels = channel.getimage("channelList")
channels
A string listing the channels and analog backplane relays associated with the
specified items
channelList
A string representing the channels and analog backplane relays to query
Details
The parameter string can contain "slotX"(where X equals 1 to 6) or "allslots".
The returned string lists the channels in slot, channel format or slot, row, column format. A request for
multiple channels is delimited by a semicolon. Note that commas delimit the specific channels and
analog backplane relays for an individual channel in the string.
If an error is detected, the response is nil.
An error is generated if:
▪ A channel pattern is specified
▪ An empty parameter string is specified
▪ slotX is empty or allslots parses to specify no valid channels because all slots are empty
