Channels

Channels represent multi-purpose I/O pins (analog, digital, I2C, SPI, etc.).

Methods

Method	Returns	Description
`GetAllAsync(ct?)`	`Task<List<ChannelDto>>`	Return every configured channel.
`GetChannelAsync(alias?, netName?, ct?)`	`Task<ChannelDto>`	Look up one channel by alias or net name.
`ConfigureAsync(config, ct?)`	`Task`	Partial-update a single channel.
`ConfigureManyAsync(configs, ct?)`	`Task`	Partial-update multiple channels in one round-trip.

Examples

Listing Channels

var channels = await client.Channels.GetAllAsync();
foreach (var ch in channels)
    Console.WriteLine($"  {ch.Alias}: type={ch.ChannelType}, unit={ch.Unit}");

Looking Up a Channel

// By alias
var ch = await client.Channels.GetChannelAsync(alias: "0.1.ESH10000158.MON_3V3");
Console.WriteLine($"Type: {ch.ChannelType}, Direction: {ch.Direction}");

// By net name
var ch2 = await client.Channels.GetChannelAsync(netName: "MPIO00");

Checking Channel Capabilities

using AccordionQ2.WebApiClient.Models;

if (ch.ChannelTypeCapability.HasFlag(ChannelTypes.Analog))
    Console.WriteLine("This channel supports analog mode");

if (ch.Capability.HasFlag(DirectionTypes.IN))
    Console.WriteLine("Input capable");

Configuring a Channel

Channel configuration uses partial updates — only non-null properties in ChannelConfigRequest are applied; everything else is left unchanged.

// Update a single property
await client.Channels.ConfigureAsync(new ChannelConfigRequest
{
    Alias       = "0.1.ESH10000158.MON_3V3",
    Description = "Main 3.3 V rail monitor",
    Unit        = "V",
});

// Batch configure
await client.Channels.ConfigureManyAsync(new List<ChannelConfigRequest>
{
    new() { NetName = "MPIO00", Enabled = true, Direction = DirectionTypes.IN  },
    new() { NetName = "MPIO01", Enabled = true, Direction = DirectionTypes.OUT },
});

Request Model

`ChannelConfigRequest`

Only non-null properties are applied. Supply NetName to locate by net name, Alias to locate by alias. If both are supplied, NetName is used for lookup and Alias is updated to the new value.

Property	Type	Description
`NetName`	`string?`	Net name for lookup (takes priority over `Alias`)
`Alias`	`string?`	Alias for lookup, or new alias when `NetName` is also set
`Enabled`	`bool?`	Enable or disable the channel
`Direction`	`DirectionTypes?`	`IN`, `OUT`, or both — must be within the channel's `Capability` flags
`ChannelType`	`ChannelTypes?`	Active channel type — must be within the channel's `ChannelTypeCapability` flags
`Description`	`string?`	Human-readable description
`Unit`	`string?`	Unit of measurement (e.g. `"V"`, `"°C"`, `"A"`)
`GroupName`	`string?`	Logical group name
`DeviceName`	`string?`	Name of the providing device

`Index`	`int`	Device-relative channel index
`Enabled`	`bool`	Whether the channel is active
`Usage`	`MpioUsageTypes`	Usage classification
`DeviceName`	`string`	Name of the providing device
`ChannelType`	`ChannelTypes`	Currently active channel type flags
`ChannelTypeCapability`	`ChannelTypes`	All supported channel types (flags)
`Alias`	`string`	Human-readable alias
`NetName`	`string`	Unique net name
`GroupName`	`string`	Logical group name
`Capability`	`DirectionTypes`	Supported directions (IN, OUT)
`Direction`	`DirectionTypes`	Currently configured direction
`DefaultDirection`	`DirectionTypes`	Factory-default direction
`DirectionChanged`	`bool`	Whether direction differs from the default
`Description`	`string`	Human-readable description
