These boards are almost identical to the AT-MIO E series, except that
they use the PCI bus instead of ISA (i.e., AT). See the notes for
a scan interval. The period for a scan is used for the convert time in a
Comedi cmd. The convert trigger source is normally set to TRIG_NOW by default.
-Basic support for the RTSI trigger bus is supported on these cards on
+The RTSI trigger bus is supported on these cards on
subdevice 10. See the comedilib documentation for details.
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.
-The support for the M-Series boards is still under development.
+M-Series boards do analog input and analog output calibration entirely
+in software. The software calibration corrects
+the analog input for offset, gain and
+nonlinearity. The analog outputs are corrected for offset and gain.
+See the comedilib documentation on comedi_get_softcal_converter() for
+more information.
Bugs:
- When DMA is enabled, COMEDI_EV_SCAN_END and COMEDI_EV_CONVERT do
not work correctly.
- - There are reported problems with the 67xx boards.
