|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm \&ad
|
|
driver
|
|
provides an interface to the Data Translation A/D converter.
|
|
This is
|
|
.Em not
|
|
a real-time driver, but merely allows
|
|
the user process to sample the board's channels one at a time.
|
|
Each minor device selects a different
|
|
.Tn A/D
|
|
board.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The driver communicates to a user process by means of
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2 Ns s.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv AD_CHAN
|
|
.Xr ioctl
|
|
selects which channel of the board to read.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
chan = 5;
|
|
ioctl(fd, AD_CHAN, &chan);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
selects channel 5.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv AD_READ
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
actually reads the data and returns it to the user
|
|
process.
|
|
An example is
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ioctl(fd, AD_READ, &data);
