Now, the following ICL commands are sent:
dmm.func = 'fourwireohms'
dmm.nplc = .5
dmm.range = 100000
dmm.configure.set('myconfig
')
print(dmm.getconfig('slot6'
))
The output will be 30 comma-delimited myconfig strings as follows:
myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myco
nfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig

As this example shows, 'myconfig' was first saved with a function setting of DC volts which was
valid for all 60 channels on Slot 6. However, when 'myconfig' changed to be associated with a
function setting of 4-wire ohms, channels 31 to 60 became unavailable since they are paired
with channels 1 to 30 in 4-wire measurement operation.
Next, the following ICL commands are sent:
dmm.func = 'temperature'
dmm.configure.set('myconfig')
print(dmm.getconfig('slot6'))
The output will be 30 comma-delimited myconfig followed by 30 comma-delimited
nofunctions as follows:
myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myco
nfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig,myconfig

n,nofunction,nofunction,nofunction,nofunction,nofunction,nofunction
Now going to a 2-wire temperature function for 'myconfig' keeps 'myconfig' on channels 1 to 30,
but since 31 to 60 are no longer paired they are set back to default DMM configuration setting of
'nofunction' since the unit has no way of knowing what configuration is desired on those
channels.
