Use the python format string literals where possible. It makes reading the ASCII commands in the code easier and is generally faster.
command = f"D{self._channel[0]};C{self._channel[1]};"
# vs
command = 'B' + str(self._channel[0]) + ';C' + str(self._channel[1]) + ';'
# although the best would be
command = f"D{self.block};C{self.channel};"| raise TypeError( | ||

Put this information in a global constant with an all capital name. And it looks like the formula is
VOLT_LOCATION_OFFSET = 1545
def get_channel_voltage_location(channel: int) -> int:
return VOLT_LOCATION_OFFSET + channel * 6| command += '}' ''' | ||

defined_channels is a set of channel names. The channels argument gives you the "inverse" mapping of channel name to channel index.
channel_idx_to_name = {idx: name
for idx, name in channels
if name is not None}| command += ch + ';D' + str(voltage) + ';' | ||

These variables and many of the following code and methods probably belong into a seperate DecaDACProgram class.
It is totally fine to have it here for development hacking :)

not isinstance(port, str)
It is probably the best to take an established serial connetion as __init__ argument and use a @classmethod or functools.singledispatchmethod to connect if required.
Added the DecaDAC driver. Ignore all the commented blocks. It's mostly there in case I want to reverse some of the changes I've made. I'll delete these in a later stage
