Channels

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

Methods

Method	Returns	Description
`get_all()`	`list[ChannelDto]`	Return every configured channel.
`get_channel(alias=, net_name=)`	`ChannelDto`	Look up one channel by alias or net name.
`configure(config)`	—	Partial-update a single channel.
`configure_many(configs)`	—	Partial-update multiple channels.

Examples

Listing Channels

for ch in client.channels.get_all():
    print(f"  {ch.alias}: type={ch.channel_type}, unit={ch.unit}")

Looking Up a Channel

# By alias
ch = client.channels.get_channel(alias="0.1.ESH10000158.MON_3V3")
print(f"Type: {ch.channel_type}, Direction: {ch.direction}")

# By net name
ch = client.channels.get_channel(net_name="MPIO00")

Checking Channel Capabilities

from accordionq2.enums import ChannelTypes, DirectionTypes

if ch.channel_type & ChannelTypes.ANALOG:
    print("This is an analog channel")

if ch.direction & DirectionTypes.IN:
    print("Input capable")

Configuring Channels

Channel configuration uses partial updates — only non-None fields in ChannelConfigRequest are applied; everything else is left unchanged.

from accordionq2.models import ChannelConfigRequest

# Update a single property
client.channels.configure(ChannelConfigRequest(
    alias="0.1.ESH10000158.MON_3V3",
    description="Main 3.3 V rail monitor",
    unit="V",
))

# Batch configure
client.channels.configure_many([
    ChannelConfigRequest(net_name="MPIO00", enabled=True, direction="IN"),
    ChannelConfigRequest(net_name="MPIO01", enabled=True, direction="OUT"),
])

`ChannelConfigRequest` Fields

Field	Type	Description
`net_name`	`str?`	Net name for lookup (takes priority over `alias`)
`alias`	`str?`	Alias for lookup, or new alias when `net_name` is also set
`enabled`	`bool?`	Enable or disable the channel
`direction`	`str?`	`"IN"` or `"OUT"` — must be within the channel's capability flags
`channel_type`	`str?`	Active channel type — must be within the channel's type capability flags
`description`	`str?`	Human-readable description
`unit`	`str?`	Unit of measurement (e.g. `"V"`, `"°C"`, `"A"`)
`group_name`	`str?`	Logical group name
`device_name`	`str?`	Name of the providing device
