comedi_get_subdevice_flags(3) properties of subdevice

SYNOPSIS


#include <comedilib.h>

int comedi_get_subdevice_flags(comedi_t * device, unsigned int subdevice);

DESCRIPTION

The function comedi_get_subdevice_flags returns a bitfield describing the capabilities of the specified subdevice subdevice of the Comedi device device. If there is an error, -1 is returned, and the Comedilib error value is set.

Subdevice Flag Value (hex) Description
SDF_BUSY 0x00000001 The subdevice is busy performing an asynchronous command. A subdevice being "busy" is slightly different from the "running" state flagged by SDF_RUNNING. A "running" subdevice is always "busy", but a "busy" subdevice is not necessarily "running". For example, suppose an analog input command has been completed by the hardware, but there are still samples in Comedi's buffer waiting to be read out. In this case, the subdevice is not "running", but is still "busy" until all the samples are read out or comedi_cancel is called.
SDF_BUSY_OWNER 0x00000002 The subdevice is "busy", and the command it is running was started by the current process.
SDF_LOCKED 0x00000004 The subdevice has been locked by comedi_lock.
SDF_LOCK_OWNER 0x00000008 The subdevice is locked, and was locked by the current process.
SDF_MAXDATA 0x00000010 The maximum data value for the subdevice depends on the channel.
SDF_FLAGS 0x00000020 The subdevice flags depend on the channel (unfinished/broken support in library).
SDF_RANGETYPE 0x00000040 The range type depends on the channel.
SDF_CMD 0x00001000 The subdevice supports asynchronous commands.
SDF_SOFT_CALIBRATED 0x00002000 The subdevice relies on the host to do calibration in software. Software calibration coefficients are determined by the comedi_soft_calibrate utility. See the description of the comedi_get_softcal_converter function for more information.
SDF_READABLE 0x00010000 The subdevice can be read (e.g. analog input).
SDF_WRITABLE 0x00020000 The subdevice can be written to (e.g. analog output).
SDF_INTERNAL 0x00040000 The subdevice does not have externally visible lines.
SDF_GROUND 0x00100000 The subdevice supports analog reference AREF_GROUND.
SDF_COMMON 0x00200000 The subdevice supports analog reference AREF_COMMON.
SDF_DIFF 0x00400000 The subdevice supports analog reference AREF_DIFF.
SDF_OTHER 0x00800000 The subdevice supports analog reference AREF_OTHER
SDF_DITHER 0x01000000 The subdevice supports dithering (via the CR_ALT_FILTER chanspec flag).
SDF_DEGLITCH 0x02000000 The subdevice supports deglitching (via the CR_ALT_FILTER chanspec flag).
SDF_RUNNING 0x08000000 An asynchronous command is running. You can use this flag to poll for the completion of an output command.
SDF_LSAMPL 0x10000000 The subdevice uses the 32-bit lsampl_t type instead of the 16-bit sampl_t for asynchronous command data.
SDF_PACKED 0x20000000 The subdevice uses bitfield samples for asynchronous command data, one bit per channel (otherwise it uses one sampl_t or lsampl_t per channel). Commonly used for digital subdevices.
