Note: Specifying a reserved type will cause an error.
Note: Because the Configure Channels (C) command is a deferred command, the channel(s) will not actually be
configured until the Execute (X) command is processed. Since the configuring of channels tak es a good
deal of processor time, as many Configure Channels (C) commands as possible, should be placed on one
command line. This will avoid unnecessary processing time when configuring many channels.
