Channel.getbackplane() - Keithley 3700A Series Reference Manual

Series 3700A System Switch/Multimeter Reference Manual
Once an error is detected, the command stops processing. Channels open or close only if no errors
are found and remain unchanged with any parsing or syntax error.
Example
channel.exclusiveslotclose("3003")
channel.exclusiveslotclose("1005, 2005")
channel.pattern.setimage("5007, 5017, 5027, 5915," "RouteA")
channel.exclusiveslotclose("RouteA")
Close channel 3 on slot 3 and open all other channels on slot 3 without affecting any other slot.
Close channel 5 on slots 1 and 2 and open all other channels on slots 1 and 2 without affecting any other slots.
Create a channel pattern called RouteA that includes channels 7, 17, and 27 on slot 5. Analog backplane
relay 5 in bank 1 on slot 5 is also in the pattern. Have only the RouteA channels close on slot 5 (channels 7, 17,
and 27, and analog backplane relay 5 in bank 1 on slot 5.
