reset() (on page 13-230)

channel functions and attributes (on page 13-24)
Example
To perform a reset on all channels in the system:
channel.reset('allslots')
To reset channels on Slot 1 only:
channel.reset('slot1')
To reset only Channels 1 to 5 on Slot 3:
channel.reset('3001:3005')
To reset only Channel 5 and analog backplane relay 5 in Bank 1 on Slot 5:
channel.reset('5005, 5915')
channel.resetstatelatch()
Function
Resets the channel state.
Usage
channel.resetstatelatch(<ch_list>, <state>)
ch_list: String specifying the channels to query, using normal channel list syntax.
state: String listing the comma-delimited states for channels in ch_list.
Remarks
If the state is reset and the condition still exists, the indicator is reset, but a second
event is generated through the channel trigger module.
Multiple states can be set by ORing the values together.
Use channel.ALL to reset all indicators.
Indicators can be latched or unlatched, depending on other system settings. Latched
indicators indicate that the condition occurred since the last reset (or power cycle).
Unlatched indicators indicate that the condition has occurred when the
channel.getstate() (on page 13-56) command was issued. The Overflow and
Overload indicators default to latched.

Function
Specify list of analog backplane relays (abuslist) to use with channels specified in
