Example
Assume Channel 3 on Slot 2 is configured for a 4-wire application and Channel 5 on
Slot 2 is configured for a 2-wire application on a 50-channel card.
To query Channel 5 on Slot 2:
channels = channel.getimage('2005')
print(channels) 2005
To query Channel 3 on Slot 2:
channels = channel.getimage('2003')
print(channels) 2003(2028)
To query for Channels 2003 and 2005 in a single call:
channels = channel.getimage('2003, 2005')
print(channels) 2003(2028);2005
To query Channel 2028:
channels = channels.getimage('2028')
print(channels) nil
-- (error – 2028 is paired for 4-wire operation)
