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
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.
+comedi_calibrate (or comedi_soft_calibrate for m-series) utility.
+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.
By default, the driver uses DMA to transfer analog input data to
memory. When DMA is enabled, not all triggering features are
incorrect. Please check this and submit a bug if there are problems
for your device.

+SCXI is probably broken for m-series boards.
Bugs:
- - When DMA is enabled, COMEDI_EV_SCAN_END and COMEDI_EV_CONVERT do
+ - When DMA is enabled, COMEDI_EV_CONVERT does
not work correctly.
