Channels of type DAC, totalizer, and digital I/O are ignored.
Channel patterns are stored when you run the createconfigscript() command or
setup.save() command.
Channel patterns are lost when power is cycled. Use setup.recall() or a script created with
createconfigscript() to restore them.
If you change a pole setting for a channel that is associated with a channel pattern, the channel
pattern is deleted. Be sure to configure the pole setting for channels (channel.setpole) before
creating a channel pattern.
Example
channel.pattern.snapshot("voltagePath")
Creates a pattern named voltagePath that
contains the presently closed channels and
analog backplane relays.
