COMEDI_GET_HARDCAL_C(3) Comedi reference COMEDI_GET_HARDCAL_C(3)
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.
