the value for the delay in seconds. The total delay for channel close is this delay plus the relay
settling time.

Set up channel patterns from the web interface
You can use channel patterns as a convenient way to refer to a group of switching channels with a
single alphanumeric name. When you perform close or open operations on a channel pattern, only
the channels that are in the channel pattern are affected.
There is no speed difference when performing close and open operations on channel patterns
compared to performing the same operations on individual channels or a list of channels.
To create a channel pattern from the web interface:
1. From the left navigation, click a slot.
Click
Pattern
