To query channels 1 and 3 on Slot 5 for their delay time:
mydelaytime = channel.getdelay("5001, 5003")
To see the delay of the channels comprising a channel pattern call mychans:
PatternChannels = channel.pattern.get("mychans")
MyDelayPatternTimes =
channel.getdelay(PatternChannels)
Query a channel for items associated with that channel when used with a switching
aspect command.
channels = channel.getimage(ch_list)
ch_list: A string representing the channels to query.
channels: A string listing the channels and analog backplane relays associated with the
specified item(s).
An error will be generated if:

a channel pattern is specified

the specified channel is invalid.

channel does not exist on the specified slot.

an empty parameter string is specified.
The parameter string may contain ―slotX‖, where X equals 1 to 6, or ―allslots‖.
The returned string will list the channels in the SCCC or SRCC format. Request for
multiple channels will be delimited by a semicolon. However, commas will delineate the
specific channels and analog backplane relays for an individual channel in the string.
If an error is detected, or the slot is empty, the response will be nil.
To just query for the analog backplane relays associated with a channel use
channel.getbackplane (on page 9-25).
