SYNOPSIS

9       comedi_board_info [OPTIONS] COMEDI_DEVICE
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This program reads information about a comedi device and displays it in
13       a human-readable form. It also probes the asynchronous  acquisition  by
14       calling the function probe_cmd_generic_timed which provides information
15       about the maximum sampling rate of the board and how the card  acquires
16       multiple channels (e.g. at once or one by one).
17
18       -n NUMBER_OF_CHANNELS
19              Requests  the  number  of channels for the asynchronous acquisi‐
20              tion.  This might influence the maximum sampling  rate  and  the
21              mode  how the comedi device samples the channels.  If the number
22              is higher than the available channels  this  will  be  corrected
23              downwards to the number of available channels.
24
25       -F SAMPLING_RATE
26              Requests  a  sampling  rate for the asynchronous acquisition. By
27              default this is set to comedi's highest sampling rate (1GHz)  so
28              that the driver is forced to reduce it and will return the maxi‐
29              mum possible sampling rate. This option  is  only  provided  for
30              driver  testing  and for drivers which do not return the highest
31              sampling rate.
32
33       -v     Verbose output.
34
35       -h     Shows a brief help screen.
