Use this command to query for DMM configurations associated with channels or channel
patterns. The response will be a comma delimited string listing the configurations in the
same order as specified in ch_list.
The configurations listed in the response indicate how the DMM will be configured when
the corresponding channel or channel pattern is closed with the dmm.close function or
used in a scan list without an overriding DMM configuration(s).
An error will be generated if:

Syntax error in parameter string.

An empty parameter string.

A specified channel or channel pattern is invalid.

Channel number does not exist for slot based on installed card.

Slot is empty.

Channel pattern does not exist.

Channel being specified does not support a configuration setting like a digital I/O
channel or analog backplane relay.
Command processing will stop once an error is detected and a nil response will be
generated.
dmm.setconfig (on page 9-116)
To query channels on slots 1 and 2:
myconfigs = dmm.getconfig("slot1, slot2")
To query channels 1 to 10 on Slot 3:
myconfigs = dmm.getconfig("3001:3010")
Enables or disables the 10M ohm input divider.
To read the input divider state:
value = dmm.inputdivider
value: Represents the present input divider
To write the input divider state:
dmm.inputdivider = value
value: Represents the desired input divider state.
Use one of the following for value:

dmm.ON or 1

dmm.OFF or 0
This attribute is only valid when dmm.func = ―dcvolts‖. All other functions generate an
error and return nil when queried.
Changing functions with dmm.func
The factory default and dmm.reset function value is dmm.OFF.
