channel.exclusiveclose()
Remarks,
continued
An error is generated if
Syntax error in parameter string.
The parameter string contains 'slotX', where X = 1 to 6, or 'allslots'.
A specified channel or channel pattern is invalid.
Channel number does not exist for slot specified.
Slot is empty.
Channel pattern does not exist.
A forbidden item is specified.
Does not support being closed like a digital I/O channel.
Channel is paired with another bank for a multi-wire application.
Once an error is detected, the command stops processing. Channels open or close
only if no errors are found and remain unchanged with any parsing or syntax error.
This command allows you to bundle the closing of channels with opening because any
currently closed channel or analog backplane relay open if not specified for closure in
the parameter. It guarantees that only the specified items are closed on the slots
specified in the parameters list.
