channel.getclose()

This function queries for the closed channels indicated by the channel list parameter.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Function Yes
Usage
closed = channel.getclose(channelList)
closed
channelList
Details
If more than one channel is closed, they are semicolon-delimited in the string. When the channelList contains
a channel pattern, only the closed channels in that image are returned.
The channelList parameter indicates the scope of channels affected, and can include:
•
allslots or slotX (where X equals 1 to 6 for Model 707B, or 1 for Model 708B)
•
Channel ranges, individual channels, or channel patterns
An error message is generated if an empty parameter string is specified or the scope of the channel list specified
contains no valid channels (for example, a channel list equaling "slotX" or "allslots").
If nothing is closed within the specified scope, a nil response is returned.
Example 1
channelList = "1A01:1H12"
channel.close("1A01")
print(channel.getclose(channelList))
channel.close("1C03")
print(channel.getclose(channelList))
Example 2
channel.close("1B03:1B05")
print(channel.getclose("allslots"))
