Details
A column label can be applied to columns of a matrix card. The label is then used on the display and can be
accessed in a channel list (see
channel in the column. You cannot specify a channel pattern.
The row and column label parameters must be unique. In addition, they cannot be the same as the name of a
channel pattern or channel label.
After defining a column label, you can use it with a row label to specify a channel instead of the channel specifier.
On the crosspoint display, the first four characters of the label are displayed. On the bottom display, the full label
is displayed.
Since a column label is common to all channels in that column, you only need to assign the column
label to one channel.
Example 1
channel.setlabelrow("1B01", "SMU2")
channel.setlabelcolumn("1B02", "DUT2")
channel.close("SMU2+DUT2")
print(channel.getclose("allslots"))
Example 2
channel.setlabelcolumn("1A01", "")
Example 3
channel.setlabelcolumn("1A01", " ")
Example 4
channel.setlabelcolumn("2B01", "TwoC")
print(channel.getlabelcolumn("slot2"))
