71 &comedi; is a free software project to interface
72 <emphasis>digital acquisition</emphasis> (DAQ) cards. It is the
73 combination of three complementary software items: (i) a generic,
74 device-independent API, (ii) a collection of Linux kernel modules that
75 implement this API for a wide range of cards, and (iii) a Linux user
76 space library with a developer-oriented programming interface to
77 configure and use the cards.
