-Configuration options:
- You have to upload firmware with the -i option. The
- firmware is usually installed under /usr/share/usb or
- /usr/local/share/usb or /lib/firmware.
-
-Connection scheme for the counter at the digital port:
- 0=/CLK0, 1=UP/DOWN0, 2=RESET0, 4=/CLK1, 5=UP/DOWN1, 6=RESET1.
- The sampling rate of the counter is approximately 500Hz.
-Please note that under USB2.0 the length of the channel list determines
-the max sampling rate. If you sample only one channel you get 8kHz
-sampling rate. If you sample two channels you get 4kHz and so on.
+The following subdevices are available
+ - Analog input
+ subdevice: 0
+ number of channels: 8
+ max data value: 4095
+ ranges:
+ all channels:
+ range = 0 : [-4.096 V,4.096 V]
+ range = 1 : [-2.048 V,2.048 V]
+ range = 2 : [0 V,4.096 V]
+ range = 3 : [0 V,2.048 V]
+ command:
+ start: now|int
+ scan_begin: timer (contains the sampling interval. min is 125us / chan)
+ convert: now
+ scan_end: count
+ stop: none|count
+ - Analogue output:
+ subdevice: 1
+ number of channels: 4
+ max data value: 4095
+ ranges:
+ all channels:
+ range = 0 : [-4.096 V,4.096 V]
+ range = 1 : [0 V,4.096 V]
+ command:

+ - Digital I/O
+ subdevice: 2
+ number of channels: 8
+ - Counter
+ subdevice: 3
+ number of channels: 4
+ max data value: 65535
+ Pin assignments on the D-connector:
+ 0=/CLK0, 1=UP/DOWN0, 2=RESET0, 4=/CLK1, 5=UP/DOWN1, 6=RESET1
+ - PWM
+ subdevice: 4
+ number of channels: 8 or 4 + polarity output for H-bridge
+ (see INSN_CONFIG_PWM_SET_H_BRIDGE where
+ the first byte is the value and the
+ second the polarity)
+ max data value: 512
+
+Configuration options
+ The device requires firmware which is usually
+ uploaded automatically by udev/hotplug at the moment
+ the driver module is loaded.
+ In case udev/hotplug is not enabled you need to upload
+ the firmware with comedi_config -i usbdux_firmware.bin.
+ The firmware is usually installed under /lib/firmware
+ or can be downloaded form http://www.linux-usb-daq.co.uk.
