-.SH NAME
-\fBcomedi_calibrate\fR - COMEDI calibration utility
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBcomedi_calibrate\fR [-f /dev/comediN]
-.br
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBcomedi_calibrate\fR is used to autocalibrate \fBcomedi\fR
-devices. Some \fBcomedi\fR devices have the ability to
-measure internal stable voltage references and control
-gains and offsets using programmable DACs. On these devices,
-\fBcomedi_calibrate\fR determines the proper values to
-feed into the programmable calibration
-DACs. These calibration settings are then
-saved to a file, which can be fed to comedi_apply_calibration()
-and related functions.
-
-If comedi_calibrate finds an existing calibration file, it
-will not perform a new calibration by default. It will
-simply read its calibration information from the file.
-This behaviour
-may be overriden with the
-.B \-\-calibrate
-option, to force a new calibration to be performed.
-
-After obtaining the calibration information for the board,
-comedi_calibrate will then apply a calibration setting
-appropriate for the specified subdevice, channel, and
-range (see the
-.B \-\-subdevice
-,
-.B \-\-channel
-, and
-.B \-\-range
-options below). See the comedilib documentation for
-comedi_apply_calibration() for more information.
-
-\fBcomedi_calibrate\fR prints a lot of debugging information
-as it runs.
-
-.SH LIMITATIONS
-
-\fBcomedi_calibrate\fR only works on boards that it understands.
-For boards that are known to have autocalibration ability,
-but are not currently supported, \fBcomedi_calibrate\fR will
-output basic debugging information that is useful for
-the author to add support for your device. Please send this
-output to him.
-
-.SH EXAMPLES
-
-.TP
-.BI comedi_calibrate\ \-\-file\ /dev/comediN
-If no default calibration for \fI/dev/comediN\fR already exists,
-perform a calibration
-and save results to default location.
-
-.TP
-.BI comedi_calibrate\ \-\-calibrate
-Perform a calibration, using existing calibration (if it exists) as
-starting point.
-
-.TP
-.BI comedi_calibrate\ \-\-reset\ \-\-calibrate
-Perform a fresh calibration and save results to default location.
-
-.TP
-.BI comedi_calibrate\ \-\-no\-calibrate\ \-\-subdevice\ subd\ \-\-range\ range\ \-\-save\-file\ cal_file
-Apply calibration for subdevice \fIsubd\fR, range \fIrange\fR, using
-the settings in the calibration file \fIcal_file\fR.
-
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-
-\fBcomedi_calibrate\fR recognizes the following options:
-
-.TP
-.BI \-a\ aref ,\ \-\-aref\ aref
-Along with \fB--channel\fR, \fB--range\fR
-and \fB--subdevice\fR, this specifies which calibration you want comedi_calibrate
-leave applied to the board. The default is 0.
-
-.TP
-.B \-\-[no\-]calibrate
-Force calibration to be performed (or not).
-By default, comedi_calibrate will only perform a new calibration if
-no existing calibration file is found (see \fB--save-file\fR).
-
-.TP
-.BI \-c\ channel, \-\-channel\ channel
-Along with \fB--subdevice\fR, \fB--range\fR
-and \fB--aref\fR, this specifies which calibration you want comedi_calibrate
-to leave applied to the board. The default is 0.
-
-.TP
-.B \-\-[no\-]dump
-Perform (or not) dump of various information about
-state of calibration prior to performing new calibration.
-
-.TP
-.BI \-f\ /dev/comediN, \-\-file\ /dev/comediN
-Perform calibration on device \fB/dev/comediN\fR.
-
-.TP
-.B \-\-help
-Print help for options then exit.
-
-.TP
-.B \-q, \-\-quiet
-Don't generate output to stdout.
-
-.TP
-.BI \-r\ range ,\ \-\-range\ range
-Along with \fB--channel\fR, \fB--subdevice\fR
-and \fB--aref\fR, this specifies which calibration you want comedi_calibrate
-to leave applied to the board. The default is 0.
-
-.TP
-.B \-\-[no\-]reset
-Reset (or don't reset) calibration subdevice to
-a reasonable starting point before
-performing calibration. The default is \fB--no-reset\fR. If
-\fB--no-reset\fR is used, the calibration routine will try to use
-an existing calibration (see \fB--save-file\fR) as a starting point.
-This is useful if
-a single calibration
-pass is not sufficient, and you wish to perform another calibration
-pass starting from the results of the previous pass.
-
-.TP
-.B \-\-[no\-]results
-Perform (or not) dump of various information about
-state of calibration after performing new calibration.
-
-.TP
-.BI \-S\ file ,\ \-\-save-file\ file
-Save calibration information to specified file,
-instead of default location. If the file already exists, comedi_calibrate
-will also use its contents as a starting point for the calibration pass (see
-\fB--no-reset\fR).
-
-.TP
-.BI \-s\ subdevice ,\ \-\-subdevice\ subdevice
-Along with \fB--channel\fR, \fB--range\fR
-and \fB--aref\fR, this specifies which calibration you want comedi_calibrate
-to leave applied to the board. The default is 0.
-
-.TP
-.B \-v, \-\-verbose
-Generate more verbose output to stdout, can be specified multiple times
