Hm. Ok. I have to reformulate this. I mean that for some people it might be not clear that the "trigger" triggers an aquisition. For them the trigger triggers something outside of comedi and not an aquistion. When I started using comedi I was a bit irritated by the use of the word trigger in the command. Thought they trigger somthing external. But this is only a minor semantic thing and not so important. /Bernd Herman Bruyninckx wrote: >On Sun, 18 May 2003, Bernd Porr wrote: > > > >>Maybe one minor thing which relates in general to the word "trigger": >>the word "trigger" has many different meanings.
