Driver: 8255.o Description: generic 8255 support Devices: [standard] 8255 (8255) Author: ds Status: works Updated: Fri, 7 Jun 2002 12:56:45 -0700 The classic in digital I/O. The 8255 appears in Comedi as a single digital I/O subdevice with 24 channels. The channel 0 corresponds to the 8255's port A, bit 0; channel 23 corresponds to port C, bit 7. Direction configuration is done in blocks, with channels 0-7, 8-15, 16-19, and 20-23 making up the 4 blocks. The only 8255 mode supported is mode 0. You should enable compilation this driver if you plan to use a board that has an 8255 chip. For multifunction boards, the main driver will configure the 8255 subdevice automatically. This driver also works independently with ISA and PCI cards that directly map the 8255 registers to I/O ports, including cards with multiple 8255 chips. To configure the driver for such a card, the option list should be a list of the I/O port bases for each of the 8255 chips. For example, comedi_config /dev/comedi0 8255 0x200,0x204,0x208,0x20c Note that most PCI 8255 boards do NOT work with this driver, and need a separate driver as a wrapper. For those that do work, the I/O port base address can be found in the output of 'lspci -v'. Driver: adl_pci9111.o Description: Driver for the Adlink PCI-9111HR card. Author: Emmanuel Pacaud Devices: [ADLink] PCI-9111HR (adl_pci9111) Status: experimental Supports: - ai_insn read - ao_insn read/write - di_insn read - do_insn read/write - ai_do_cmd mode with the following sources: - start_src TRIG_NOW - scan_begin_src TRIG_FOLLOW TRIG_TIMER TRIG_EXT - convert_src TRIG_TIMER TRIG_EXT - scan_end_src TRIG_COUNT - stop_src TRIG_COUNT TRIG_NONE The scanned channels must be consecutive and start from 0. They must all have the same range and aref. Configuration options: [0] - PCI bus number (optional) [1] - PCI slot number (optional) If bus/slot is not specified, the first available PCI device will be used. Driver: adl_pci9118.o Description: Adlink PCI-9118DG, PCI-9118HG, PCI-9118HR Author: Michal Dobes Devices: [ADLink] PCI-9118DG (pci9118dg), PCI-9118HG (pci9118hg), PCI-9118HR (pci9118hr) Status: works This driver supports AI, AO, DI and DO subdevices. AI subdevice supports cmd and insn interface, other subdevices support only insn interface. For AI: - If cmd->scan_begin_src=TRIG_EXT then trigger input is TGIN (pin 46). - If cmd->convert_src=TRIG_EXT then trigger input is EXTTRG (pin 44). - If cmd->start_src/stop_src=TRIG_EXT then trigger input is TGIN (pin 46). - It is not neccessary to have cmd.scan_end_arg=cmd.chanlist_len but cmd.scan_end_arg modulo cmd.chanlist_len must by 0. - If return value of cmdtest is 5 then you've bad channel list (it isn't possible mixture S.E. and DIFF inputs or bipolar and unipolar ranges). There are some hardware limitations: a) You cann't use mixture of unipolar/bipoar ranges or differencial/single ended inputs. b) DMA transfers must have the length aligned to two samples (32 bit), so there is some problems if cmd->chanlist_len is odd. This driver tries bypass this with adding one sample to the end of the every scan and discard it on output but this cann't be used if cmd->scan_begin_src=TRIG_FOLLOW and is used flag TRIG_WAKE_EOS, then driver switch to interrupt driven mode with interrupt after every sample. c) If isn't used DMA then you can use only mode where cmd->scan_begin_src=TRIG_FOLLOW.

AI subdevice supports cmd and insn interface, other subdevices support only insn interface. The PCI-1710 and PCI-1710HG have the same PCI device ID, so the driver cannot distinguish between them, as would be normal for a PCI driver. Configuration options: [0] - PCI bus of device (optional) [1] - PCI slot of device (optional) If bus/slot is not specified, the first available PCI device will be used. Driver: amplc_pc236.o Description: Driver for Amplicon PC36AT and PCI236 DIO boards Author: Ian Abbott Devices: [Amplicon] PC36AT (pc36at), PCI236 (pci236) Updated: Fri, 23 Aug 2002 11:41:11 +0100 Status: works Configuration options - PC36AT: [0] - I/O port base address [1] - IRQ (optional) Configuration options - PCI236: [0] - PCI bus of device (optional) [1] - PCI slot of device (optional) If bus/slot is not specified, the first available PCI device will be used. The PC36AT ISA board and PCI236 PCI board have a single 8255 appearing as subdevice 0. Subdevice 1 pretends to be a digital input device, but it always returns 0 when read. However, if you run a command with scan_begin_src=TRIG_EXT, a rising edge on port C bit 7 acts as an external trigger, which can be used to wake up tasks. This is like the comedi_parport device, but the only way to physically disable the interrupt on the PC36AT is to remove the IRQ jumper. If no interrupt is connected, then subdevice 1 is unused.

Driver: cb_pcimdda.o Description: A driver for this relatively new and uniquely designed board Devices: [Computer Boards] PCIM-DDA06-16 (pcimdda06-16) Author: Calin Culianu Updated: Thu, 20 Jun 2002 16:19:41 -0500 Status: works All features of the PCIM-DDA06-16 board are supported. This board has 6 16-bit AO channels, and the usual 8255 DIO setup. (24 channels, configurable in banks of 8 and 4, etc.). This board does not support commands. The board has a peculiar way of specifying AO gain/range settings -- You have 1 jumper bank on the card, which either makes all 6 AO channels either 5 Volt unipolar, 5V bipolar, 10 Volt unipolar or 10V bipolar. Since there is absolutely _no_ way to tell in software how this jumper is set (well, at least according to the rather thin spec. from Measurement Computing that comes with the board), the driver assumes the jumper is at its factory default setting of +/-5V. Also of note is the fact that this board features another jumper, whose state is also completely invisible to software. It toggles two possible AO output modes on the board: - Update Mode: Writing to an AO channel instantaneously updates the actual signal output by the DAC on the board (this is the factory default). - Simultaneous XFER Mode: Writing to an AO channel has no effect until you read from any one of the AO channels. This is useful for loading all 6 AO values, and then reading from any one of the AO channels on the device to instantly update all 6 AO values in unison. Useful for some control apps, I would assume? If your jumper is in this setting, then you need to issue your comedi_data_write()s to load all the values you want, then issue one comedi_data_read() on any channel on the AO subdevice to initiate the simultaneous XFER. Configuration Options: Just tell comedi_config that you want to use the cb_pcimdda driver as so: comedi_config /dev/comedi0 cb_pcimdda Driver: comedi_parport.o Description: Standard PC parallel port Author: ds Status: works in immediate mode Devices: [standard] parallel port (comedi_parport) Updated: Tue, 30 Apr 2002 21:11:45 -0700 A cheap and easy way to get a few more digital I/O lines. Steal additional parallel ports from old computers or your neighbors' computers. Option list: 0: I/O port base for the parallel port. 1: IRQ Parallel Port Lines: pin subdev chan aka --- ------ ---- --- 1 2 0 strobe 2 0 0 data 0 3 0 1 data 1 4 0 2 data 2 5 0 3 data 3 6 0 4 data 4 7 0 5 data 5 8 0 6 data 6 9 0 7 data 7 10 1 3 acknowledge 11 1 4 busy 12 1 2 output 13 1 1 printer selected 14 2 1 auto LF 15 1 0 error 16 2 2 init 17 2 3 select printer 18-25 ground Notes: Subdevices 0 is digital I/O, subdevice 1 is digital input, and subdevice 2 is digital output. Unlike other Comedi devices, subdevice 0 defaults to output. Pins 13 and 14 are inverted once by Comedi and once by the hardware, thus cancelling the effect. Pin 1 is a strobe, thus acts like one. There's no way in software to change this, at least on a standard parallel port. Subdevice 3 pretends to be a digital input subdevice, but it always returns 0 when read. However, if you run a command with scan_begin_src=TRIG_EXT, it uses pin 10 as a external triggering pin, which can be used to wake up tasks. Driver: comedi_rt_timer.o Description: Command emulator using real-time tasks Author: ds, fmhess Devices: Status: works This driver requires RTAI or RTLinux to work correctly. It doesn't actually drive hardware directly, but calls other drivers and uses a real-time task to emulate commands for drivers and devices that are incapable of native commands. Thus, you can get accurately timed I/O on any device. Since the timing is all done in software, sampling jitter is much higher than with a device that has an on-board timer, and maximum sample rate is much lower. Configuration options: [0] - minor number of device you wish to emulate commands for [1] - subdevice number you wish to emulate commands for Driver: comedi_test.o Description: generates fake waveforms Author: Joachim Wuttke , Frank Mori Hess , ds Devices: Status: works Updated: Sat, 16 Mar 2002 17:34:48 -0800 This driver is mainly for testing purposes, but can also be used to generate sample waveforms on systems that don't have data acquisition hardware. Configuration options: [0] - Amplitude in microvolts for fake waveforms (default 1 volt) [1] - Period in microseconds for fake waveforms (default 0.1 sec) Generates a sawtooth wave on channel 0, square wave on channel 1, additional waveforms could be added to other channels (currently they return flatline zero volts).

The FPGA on the board requires initialization code, which can either be compiled into the driver or loaded by comedi_config using the -i option. The latter is recommended, in order to save a bit of kernel memory.

Options: [0] - base io address [1] - irq (optional) [2] - dma (optional) [3] - master clock speed in MHz (optional, 1 or 10, ignored if board can probe clock, defaults to 1) [4] - analog input range lowest voltage in microvolts (optional, only useful if your board does not have software programmable gain) [5] - analog input range highest voltage in microvolts (optional, only useful if board does not have software programmable gain) [6] - analog output range lowest voltage in microvolts (optional) [7] - analog output range highest voltage in microvolts (optional) [8] - use timer mode for DMA, needed e.g. for buggy DMA controller in NS CS5530A (Geode Companion). If set, also allows comedi_command() to be run without an irq. Passing a zero for an option is the same as leaving it unspecified. Both a dma channel and an irq (or use of 'timer mode', option 8) are required for timed or externally triggered conversions. Driver: das16m1.o Description: CIO-DAS16/M1 Author: Frank Mori Hess Devices: [MeasurementComputing] CIO-DAS16/M1 (cio-das16/m1) Status: works This driver supports a single board - the CIO-DAS16/M1. As far as I know, there are no other boards that have the same register layout. Even the CIO-DAS16/M1/16 is significantly different. I was _barely_ able to reach the full 1 MHz capability of this board, using a hard real-time interrupt (set the TRIG_RT flag in your comedi_cmd and use rtlinux or RTAI). The board can't do dma, so the bottleneck is pulling the data across the ISA bus. I timed the interrupt handler, and it took my computer ~470 microseconds to pull 512 samples from the board. So at 1 Mhz sampling rate, expect your CPU to be spending almost all of its time in the interrupt handler. This board has some unusual restrictions for its channel/gain list. If the list has 2 or more channels in it, then two conditions must be satisfied: (1) - even/odd channels must appear at even/odd indices in the list (2) - the list must have an even number of entries. Options: [0] - base io address [1] - irq (optional, but you probably want it) irq can be omitted, although the cmd interface will not work without it.

All entries in the channel/gain list must use the same gain and be consecutive channels counting upwards in channel number (these are hardware limitations.) I've never tested the gain setting stuff since I only have a DAS-800 board with fixed gain. The cio-das802/16 does not have a fifo-empty status bit!

Use isapnp to configure the I/O base for the board, and then pass the same value as a parameter in comedi_config. A sample isapnp.conf file is included in the etc/ directory of Comedilib. Comedilib includes a utility to autocalibrate these boards. The boards seem to boot into a state where the all calibration DACs are at one extreme of their range, thus the default calibration is terrible. Calibration at boot is strongly encouraged. To use the extended digital I/O on some of the boards, enable the 8255 driver when configuring the Comedi source tree. External triggering is supported for some events. The channel index (scan_begin_arg, etc.) maps to PFI0 - PFI9. Some of the more esoteric triggering possibilities of these boards are not supported.

See the 8255 driver notes for details. The DIO32HS board appears as one subdevice, with 32 channels. Each channel is individually I/O configurable. The channel order is 0=A0, 1=A1, 2=A2, ... 8=B0, 16=C0, 24=D0. The driver only supports simple digital I/O; no handshaking is supported. DMA mostly works for the PCI-DIO32HS, but only in timed input mode. This driver could be easily modified to support AT-MIO32HS and AT-MIO96.

See the notes for the ni_atmio.o driver for additional information about these boards. Autocalibration is supported on many of the devices, using the calibration utility in Comedilib. By default, the driver uses DMA to transfer analog input data to memory. When DMA is enabled, not all triggering features are supported. Streaming analog output is not supported on PCI-671x and PCI-673x. PCI IDs are not known for PCI-6731 and PCI-6733. Digital I/O may not work on 673x. Information (number of channels, bits, etc.) for some devices may be incorrect. Please check this and submit a bug if there are problems for your device. Bugs: - When DMA is enabled, COMEDI_EV_SCAN_END and COMEDI_EV_CONVERT do not work correctly. - There are reported problems with the 61xx and 67xx boards.

My board fire up under my hands and I cann't test all features.) This driver supports insn and cmd interfaces. Some boards support only insn becouse their hardware don't allow more (PCL-813/B, ACL-8113, ISO-813). Data transfer over DMA is supported only when you measure only one channel, this is too hardware limitation of these boards. See the head of the source file pcl812.c for configuration options. Driver: pcl816.o Description: Advantech PCL-816 cards, PCL-814 Author: Juan Grigera Devices: [Advantech] PCL-816 (pcl816), PCL-814B (pcl814b) Status: works Updated: Tue, 2 Apr 2002 23:15:21 -0800 PCL 816 and 814B have 16 SE/DIFF ADCs, 16 DACs, 16 DI and 16 DO.

Differences are only at maximal sample speed, range list and FIFO support. The driver support AI mode 0, 1, 3 other subdevices (AO, DI, DO) support only mode 0. If DMA/FIFO/INT are disabled then AI support only mode 0. PCL-818HD and PCL-818HG support 1kword FIFO. Driver support this FIFO but this code is untested. A word or two about DMA. Driver support DMA operations at two ways: 1) DMA uses two buffers and after one is filled then is generated INT and DMA restart with second buffer. With this mode I'm unable run more that 80Ksamples/secs without data dropouts on K6/233. 2) DMA uses one buffer and run in autoinit mode and the data are from DMA buffer moved on the fly with 2kHz interrupts from RTC. This mode is used if the interrupt 8 is available for allocation. If not, then first DMA mode is used. With this I can run at full speed one card (100ksamples/secs) or two cards with 60ksamples/secs each (more is problem on account of ISA limitations). To use this mode you must have compiled kernel with disabled "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support". Maybe you can have problems if you use xntpd or similar. If you've data dropouts with DMA mode 2 then: a) disable IDE DMA b) switch text mode console to fb.
