Matrix card notation
To control channels using matrix card notation, use SRCC where:
S: Slot number
R: Row number
CC: Column number (always use 2 digits)

Channel list parameter <ch_list>
The channel list parameter <ch_list>, used when controlling the Series 3700's relays over the
bus, is a string-type parameter. An example:
Channel 1 (of Slot 1) is associated with analog backplane relays 3 and 4, while Channel
3 (of the same slot) has analog backplane relays 5 and 6. The <ch_list> used in this
example is ("1001, 1003"). The response to a channel.getbackplane("1001, 1003") will
be "1913, 1914;1915,1916". To associate the backplane relays as indicated with
Channel 1, the corresponding command would be channel.setbackplane('1001', '1913,
1914').
Therefore, when sending this parameter:
