DMM configuration
When a DMM configuration is updated, the instrument will go through all switch
channels in the system to find ones that have the updated configuration
assigned as its DMM configuration attribute setting. For each one found, it will
verify that the new configuration attribute settings are still valid for that channel.
If the settings are still valid and needed, changes will be made to support the
new settings.
The Model 3721 card has three additional backplane relays for common side
ohms functionality. Using 'slotX' or 'allslots' to query settings on this
card returns information for Channels 1 to 40, 911 to 916, 921 to 926, then 917,
927, and 928 in the response message (the three additional common side ohms
backplane relays are listed last).
For example, to print the channel images on this card when it is in Slot 2 after a
reset, send the following:
reset()
print(channel.getimage('slot2'))
Output from above code:
2001;2002;2003;2004;2005;2006;2007;2008;2009;2010;201

listed last.
DMM new configuration example
For example, assume Slot 6 has a Model 3720 card installed and the following
ICL commands are sent:
reset()
dmm.nplc = .1
dmm.range = 10
dmm.configure.set('myconfig')
dmm.setconfig('slot6', 'myconfig')
print(dmm.getconfig('slot6'))
