NAME

       comedi_board_info - reports useful information about COMEDI devices

SYNOPSIS

       comedi_board_info [OPTIONS] COMEDI_DEVICE

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  reads  information about a comedi device and displays it in a human-readable form. It also
       probes the asynchronous acquisition  by  calling  the  function  probe_cmd_generic_timed  which  provides
       information  about  the  maximum  sampling  rate of the board and how the card acquires multiple channels
       (e.g. at once or one by one).

       -n NUMBER_OF_CHANNELS
              Requests the number of channels for  the  asynchronous  acquisition.   This  might  influence  the
              maximum  sampling  rate and the mode how the comedi device samples the channels.  If the number is
              higher than the available channels this will be corrected downwards to  the  number  of  available
              channels.

       -F SAMPLING_RATE
              Requests  a  sampling  rate  for  the asynchronous acquisition. By default this is set to comedi's
              highest sampling rate (1GHz) so that the driver is forced to reduce it and will return the maximum
              possible sampling rate. This option is only provided for driver testing and for drivers  which  do
              not return the highest sampling rate.

       -v     Verbose output.

       -h     Shows a brief help screen.
