dmm.getconfig()
Remarks
Use this command to query for DMM configurations associated with channels or
channel patterns. The response will be a comma-delimited string listing the
configurations in the same order as specified in ch_list.
The configurations listed in the response indicate how the DMM will be configured
when the corresponding channel or channel pattern is closed with the dmm.close() (on
page 13-123) function or used in a scan list without an overriding DMM configuration.
An error will be generated if:
Syntax error exists in parameter string.
An empty parameter string is specified.
A specified channel or channel pattern is invalid.
Channel number does not exist for slot based on installed card.
Slot is empty.
Channel pattern does not exist.
Channel being specified does not support a configuration setting like a digital I/O
channel or analog backplane relay.
Command processing will stop once an error is detected and a nil response is
generated.
