Details
This command sets the label of the channel specified in
channelList
to the value specified in the
label
parameter.
The
label
parameter must be unique. In addition, it cannot be the same as the name of a channel pattern, row
label, or column label.
To clear the label, set
label
to an empty string (
""
) or to a string with a space as the first character.
After defining a label, you can use it to specify the channel instead of using the channel specifier.
An error is generated if:
•
The card in the channel slot does not support a label setting
•
The label contains a space. However, if the first character is a space, the label is cleared
•
The label is already used to represent a channel pattern
The label does not persist through a power cycle.
Example 1
channel.setlabel("1A01", "start")
channel.close("start")
print(channel.getclose("allslots"))
Sets the label for channel row 1 and column 01
on slot 1 to "start".
Output:
1A01
Example 2
channel.setlabel("1A01", "")
Clears the label for channel row 1 and
column 01, slot 1 back to "1A01".
Example 3
channel.setlabel("1A01", " ")
Also clears the label for channel row 1 and
column 01, slot 1 back to "1A01".
