NAME

       comedi_get_hardcal_converter - get converter for hardware-calibrated subdevice

SYNOPSIS

       #include <comedilib.h>

       int comedi_get_hardcal_converter(comedi_t * device, unsigned subdevice, unsigned channel,
                                        unsigned range,
                                        enum comedi_conversion_direction direction,
                                        comedi_polynomial_t * converter);

STATUS

       alpha

DESCRIPTION

       The function comedi_get_hardcal_converter initializes the comedi_polynomial_t pointed to
       by converter so it can be passed to either comedi_to_physical, or comedi_from_physical.
       The result can be used to convert data from the specified subdevice, channel, and range.
       The direction parameter specifies whether converter will be passed to comedi_to_physical
       or comedi_from_physical.

       This function initializes the comedi_polynomial_t pointed to by converter as a simple
       linear function with no calibration information, appropriate for boards which do their
       gain/offset/nonlinearity corrections in hardware. If your board needs calibration to be
       performed in software by the host computer, use comedi_get_softcal_converter instead. A
       subdevice will advertise the fact that it depends on a software calibration with the
       SDF_SOFT_CALIBRATED subdevice flag.

       The result of this function will only depend on the channel parameter if either
       comedi_range_is_chan_specific or comedi_maxdata_is_chan_specific returns true for the
       specified subdevice.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure.
