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.
