65                                 <emphasis>digital acquisition</emphasis> (DAQ) cards. It is the
66                                 combination of three complementary software items: (i) a generic,
67                                 device-independent API, (ii) a collection of Linux kernel modules that
68                                 implement this API for a wide range of cards, and (iii) a Linux user
69                                 space library with a developer-oriented programming interface to
70                                 configure and use the cards.
