NAME

       comedi_arm - arm a subdevice

SYNOPSIS

       #include <comedilib.h>

       int comedi_arm(comedi_t * device, unsigned int subdevice, unsigned int source);

STATUS

       alpha

DESCRIPTION

       This function arms a subdevice. It may, for example, arm a counter to begin counting. The source
       parameter specifies what source should trigger the subdevice to begin. The possible sources are
       driver-dependant. This function is only useable on subdevices that provide support for the
       INSN_CONFIG_ARM configuration instruction. Some subdevices treat this as an instruction to arm a specific
       channel. For those subdevices, this function will arm channel 0 and comedi_arm_channel should be called
       instead of this one to specify the channel.

RETURN VALUE

       0 on success, -1 on error.
