Example
channel.pattern.setimage("1A01:1A05", "myPattern")
channel.pattern.setimage("1B01,1B03,1B05",
"myRoute")
myImage = channel.pattern.getimage("myPattern")
print(myImage)
print(channel.pattern.getimage("myRoute"))
print(channel.pattern.getimage("myRoute,
myPattern"))
Using a Model 7174 (or similar
model) card in Slot 1, this example
creates two channel patterns and
then queries these patterns.
Output:
1A01,1A02,1A03,1A04,1A05
1B01,1B03,1B05
1B01,1B03,1B05;1A01,1A02,1
A03,1A04,1A05

Usage
channel.pattern.setimage(channelList, name)
channelList
A string listing the channels and channel patterns to use when creating the new
channel pattern
name
A string representing the name to associate with the new channel pattern
Details
If
name
is used for an existing channel pattern, that pattern is overwritten with the new pattern channel image (if
no errors occur). The previous image associated with the name is lost.
The channel pattern is not created if an error is detected. You can create a channel pattern with an empty
channelList
parameter.
Once a channel pattern is created, the only way to add a channel to an existing pattern is to delete the old
pattern and recreate the pattern with the new desired items. Alternatively, include the additional channels in the
channelList
with the channel pattern when using.
