It's a hard-coded value for digital input subdevices in Comedi. It is possible to change the driver to report a different range, but it is pretty pointless. The reported range is not very interesting for a digital input. It looks like there some input circuitry on your card that converts the input range from the manual into the normal TTL logic level, so you won't have blown anything up by connecting 12V. If you are still reading garbage from the input after connecting the input to 0V, then assuming the connections are correct, it suggests a bug in the driver. The documented status of the driver is "untested", so perhaps the PCI-1762 has never been tested with this driver. -- -=( Ian Abbott _at_ MEV Ltd.
