Code Description
errorqueue.clear()
closedChannels = channel.getclose("1F10")
if closedChannels == nil then
channel.setforbidden("1F10")
else
channel.open("1F10")
channel.setforbidden("1F10")
end
channel.close("1F10")
print(errorqueue.next())
Clears existing errors.
Determine if crosspoint 1F10 is closed.
If 1F10 is currently open, configure it as a forbidden
channel.

set it as a forbidden channel.
Attempt to close 1F10, which should generate an
error.
