An error is generated if:
• The specified channel or channel pattern is invalid.
• The channel number does not exist for the slot specified.
• The channel pattern does not exist.
• The specified channel does not support being closed (like a digital I/O channel).
• More than one channel or channel pattern is specified.
• The channel is paired with another bank for a multi-wire application.
• The channel is an analog backplane relay.
• The channel configuration is set to nofunction.
Once an error is detected, the command stops processing. Channels and DMM settings remain
unchanged.
Example
dmm.setconfig("3003", "tempMeasure")
dmm.close('3003')
Close channel 3 on slot 3 and prepare the
DMM for measuring temperature with
tempMeasure settings.
dmm.setconfig("channelDCV", "dcvolts")
dmm.close("channelDCV")
Close a channel pattern called channelDCV
and prepare DMM for measuring DC volts at
factory default settings.

dmm.configure.catalog()
This function creates an iterator for user-created DMM configurations.
Usage
for name in dmm.configure.catalog() do … end
A string representing the name of a user-created DMM configuration.
Details
You can access the catalog for user DMM configurations to print or delete all configurations in the
run-time environment.
The entries are enumerated in no particular order. This only lists user-created DMM configurations; it
does not list the factory default configurations.
