COMEDI_SET_OTHER_SOU(3) Comedi reference COMEDI_SET_OTHER_SOU(3) NAME
comedi_set_other_source - select source signal for something other than a gate or clock SYNOPSIS
#include <comedilib.h> int comedi_set_other_source(comedi_t * device, unsigned int subdevice, unsigned int channel, unsigned int other, unsigned int source); STATUS
alpha DESCRIPTION
This function allows selection of a source signal for something on a subdevice other than a gate (which uses comedi_set_gate_source) or a clock (which uses comedi_set_clock_source). The other parameter selects which "other" we are configuring, and is driver-dependent. The source parameter selects the source we which to use for the "other". If the subdevice does not support configuring its "other" sources on a per-channel basis, then the channel parameter will be ignored. As an example, this function is used to select which PFI digital input channels should be used as the A/B/Z signals when running a counter on an NI M-Series board as a quadrature encoder. The other parameter selects either the A, B, or Z signal, and the source parameter is used to specify which PFI digital input channel the external A, B, or Z signal is physically connected to. This function is only useable on subdevices that provide support for the INSN_CONFIG_SET_OTHER_SOURCE configuration instruction. RETURN VALUE
0 on success, -1 on error. AUTHORS

COMEDI_SET_CLOCK_SOU(3) Comedi reference COMEDI_SET_CLOCK_SOU(3) NAME
comedi_set_clock_source - set master clock for a subdevice SYNOPSIS
#include <comedilib.h> int comedi_set_clock_source(comedi_t * device, unsigned int subdevice, unsigned int channel, unsigned int clock, unsigned int period_ns); STATUS
alpha DESCRIPTION
This function selects a master clock for a subdevice. The clock parameter selects the master clock, and is driver-dependant. If the subdevice does not support configuring its master clocks on a per-channel basis, then the channel parameter will be ignored. The period_ns parameter specifies the clock's period in nanoseconds. It may left unspecified by using a value of zero. Drivers will ignore the clock period if they already know what the clock period should be for the specified clock (e.g. for an on-board 20MHz oscillator). Certain boards which use a phase-locked loop to synchronize to external clock sources must be told the period of the external clock. Specifying a clock period for an external clock may also allow the driver to support TRIG_TIMER sources in commands while using the external clock. The clock may be queried with the comedi_get_clock_source function. This function is only useable on subdevices that provide support for the INSN_CONFIG_SET_CLOCK_SOURCE configuration instruction.

0 on success, -1 on error. AUTHORS
