Models 3706A, 3706A-S, 3706A-NFP, 3706A-SNFP.
Enhancement:
Allow channel.open, channel.close, channel.getstate and channel.createspecifier to run while a
background scan is running. These commands can slow a scan down if they are called while the scan
is running. If there is no scan running then these commands function as normal.

channel.open can only be used on a slot that is not part of the scan list that is running. While
a scan is running channel.open will not accept "allslots" or "slot#" as the parameter. While a
scan is running channel.open will only accept a channel or list of channels.

channel.close can only be used on a slot that is not part of the scan list that is running.
