16 Used to prepare an analog input for a subsequent call to
17 comedi_data_read(). It is not necessary to use this function, but it
18 can be useful for eliminating inaccuaracies caused by insufficient set‐
19 tling times when switching the channel or gain on an analog input.
20 This function sets an analog input to the channel, range, and aref
21 specified but does not perform an actual analog to digital conversion.

23 Alternatively, one can simply use comedi_data_read_delayed(), which
24 sets up the input, pauses to allow settling, then performs a conver‐
25 sion.
