Usage
dmm.setconfig("channelList", "dmmConfiguration")
channelList
A string that lists the channels and channel patterns to change
dmmConfiguration
A string with the name of the DMM configuration that will be assigned to items in
channelList
Details
dmmConfiguration can be the name of a configuration that was saved with
dmm.configure.set(). If you use a saved configuration, the function of the configuration and the
supporting DMM attributes for that function are associated with the channelList parameter items.
These supporting DMM attributes may have user-defined or default values associated with them.
dmmConfiguration can also be a DMM configuration name that matches the DMM function name.
If you use a default DMM configuration name, be aware that the supporting function attribute settings
are the default values and not user-specified (as they may be in a user-defined saved configuration).
The DMM function names are:
▪ "accurrent"
▪ "acvolts"
▪ "commonsideohms"
▪ "continuity"
▪ "dccurrent"
▪ "dcvolts"
▪ "fourwireohms"
▪ "frequency"
▪ "nofunction"
▪ "period"
▪ "temperature"
▪ "twowireohms"
To use a channel with the dmm.close() function, dmm.setconfig() cannot be set to
"nofunction".
The configuration being assigned determines whether analog backplane relay 1 or 2 get used, based
on the function associated with the configuration when being assigned to a channel. For channel
patterns, the pattern image must include the analog backplane relays and the channels. This
command has no effect on the poles setting for a channel (channel.setpole()) or analog
backplane relays specified by channel.setbackplane() function.
An error is generated if:
• There is more than one DMM configuration specified.
• A DMM configuration is specified that does not exist.
• The DMM functionality is not supported on a specified channel.
• An analog backplane relay is specified.
• A specified channel does not exist for the card installed on the slot specified.
• A specified channel is forbidden to close.
• A matrix channel is in channel list parameter (for example, the Model 3730 is 6 x 16 high density
matrix card, so an error is generated if a Model 3730 channel is included in the channel list
parameter).
