Methods

m

cancel_all_analog_outputs_schedule()

async available
pvt_io.cancel_all_analog_outputs_schedule(channels = [])
Cancel all scheduled analog output actions. Requires at least Firmware 7.38.
Arguments
NameTypeDescription
channelsList[bool]Optionally specify which channels to cancel. Array length must be empty or equal to the number of channels on device. Specifying "True" for a channel will cancel the scheduled analog output value for that channel.
m

cancel_all_digital_outputs_schedule()

async available
pvt_io.cancel_all_digital_outputs_schedule(channels = [])
Cancel all scheduled digital output actions. Requires at least Firmware 7.37.
Arguments
NameTypeDescription
channelsList[bool]Optionally specify which channels to cancel. Array length must be empty or equal to the number of channels on device. Specifying "True" for a channel will cancel the scheduled digital output action for that channel.
m
