valid channel descriptors; if an illegal argument is sent for the type of card in the specified slot, an
error is generated.

Example 2
for row = 1,8 do
for col = 1,28 do
ch = channel.createspecifier(1,1,row,col)
channel.setpole(ch, 2)
end
end
Sets the pole setting to 2 for all
channels in bank 1 on a Model
