channel.reset
Remarks
This command resets only the channel aspects for the items specified to factory default
settings. For the items specified in the parameter list (
ch_list
) the following action will
occur:
For closed channels or analog backplane relays, they will open.
For channels, the poles reset to 2 and paired channels are changed to match.
Additional user delay is set to 0.
Labels go back to default of "SCCC" or "SRCC".
Analog backplane relays specified by channel.setbackplane function are cleared.
If channel is forbidden to close, it is cleared from being forbidden to close.
Channels in a channel pattern list are deleted. This means that specifying a channel
pattern to reset will reset the items within the pattern and delete that pattern.
Channels have their DMM configurations set to ―nofunction‖
The parameter string may contain ―allslots‖, ―slotX‖ where X = 1 to 6, channel
pattern(s), and channel(s) include a range of channels.
The rest of the settings are unaffected. To reset the entire system to factory default
settings, use the reset command.
An error message will be generated if the parameter string is empty or just spaces.
Using this function to reset a channel or backplane relay involved in scanning invalidates
the existing scan list. The list will have to be recreated before scanning again.

Example
To perform a reset on all channels in the system:
channel.reset("allslots")
To reset on channels on Slot 1:
channel.reset("slot1")
To reset only channels 1 to 5 on Slot 3:
channel.reset("3001:3005")
To reset only Channel 5 and analog backplane relay 5 in bank 1 on Slot 5;
channel.reset("5005, 5915")
channel.setbackplane
Function
Specify list of analog backplane relays (
abuslist
) to use with channels specified in
ch_list when they are used in a switching aspect.
Usage
channel.setbackplane(ch_list, abuslist)
ch_list:
A string listing the channels to change.
abuslist
: A string listing analog backplane relays to set for channels in ch_list.
