dmm.getconfig()
This function queries for the DMM configurations that are associated with the specified channels or channel
patterns.

Channel reset
Recall setup

Usage
DMMconfiguration = dmm.getconfig("channelList")
A comma-delimited string that lists the DMM configurations associated with items
in channelList
The channels or channel patterns to query
Details
The response is a comma-delimited string that lists the user-defined and factory-defined
configurations. They are listed in the same order in which they are specified in channelList.
The configurations indicate how the DMM will be configured when the corresponding channel or
channel pattern is closed with the dmm.close() function or used in a scan list without an overriding
DMM configuration.
An error is generated if:
• A specified channel or channel pattern is invalid.
• A channel number does not exist for slot based on installed card.
• Channel pattern does not exist.
• Channel being specified does not support a configuration setting (for example, a digital I/O
channel or analog backplane relay).
Example
slot1_2Configs = dmm.getconfig("slot1, slot2")
print(slot1_2Configs)
Queries channels on slots 1 and 2.
chan3001_3010Configs =
dmm.getconfig("3001:3010")
print(chan3001_3010Configs)
Queries channels 1 to 10 on slot 3.
Sample output may be:
dcvolts,dcvolts,dcvolts,dcvolts,
dcvolts,temperature,temperat
ure,temperature,temperature,
temperature
This shows that channels 3001 to 3005 are
configured for "dcvolts" and 3006 to
3010 are configured for "temperature".
