Example 2
patternChannels =
channel.pattern.get("chans")
DelayPatternTimes =
channel.getdelay(patternChannels)
Gets the delay of the channels in the chans
channel pattern if chans does not contain
backplane relays. If it does contain
backplane relays, you will receive error code
1115, "Parameter error invalid channel type
in channel list."

Usage
forbiddenList = channel.getforbidden("channelList")
forbiddenList
Comma-delimited string listing the channels and analog backplane relays in the
channel list that are forbidden to close
channelList
A string listing the channels, backplane relays, and channel patterns that are to be
checked to see if they are forbidden to close
Details
The channelList parameter indicates which channels to check, and may include:
▪ allslots or slotX (where X equals 1 to 6)
▪ Channel ranges or individual channels
▪ Analog backplane relays
▪ Channel patterns
If there are no channels in the scope of the channelList that are on the forbidden list, the string
returned is empty or nil. The format of the channels in the response string is slot, channel for
multiplexer channels or slot, row, column for matrix channels.
Example 1
Forbidden =
channel.getforbidden("allslots")
Query for the channels and analog
backplane relays that are forbidden to close
in the instrument.
