I get a lot of timeout messages in the kernel log. This is an example:

Nov 18 20:18:48 fllap kernel: comedi0: ni_labpc: timeout
Nov 18 20:19:19 fllap last message repeated 493 times
Nov 18 20:20:20 fllap last message repeated 1519 times
Nov 18 20:21:25 fllap last message repeated 1542 times
Nov 18 20:22:26 fllap last message repeated 1511 times

I tried comedi_read_delayed() with a delay of 20 us. It got better but
sometimes I get this error (using comedi_perror):

comedi_data_read: Timer expired
comedi_perror(): __comedi_errno=62
comedi_data_read: Timer expired
comedi_perror(): __comedi_errno=62
comedi_data_read: Timer expired
comedi_perror(): __comedi_errno=62

Is there a way to determine exactly how fast I can sample?

I have tried both bipolar and unipolar range - none works.
