Re: comedi_calibrate configure failure

Hi Arno,

thank you so much, that was the problem! Now that I was able to  
configure and compile comedi_calibrate, I'm able to to calibrate my  
6733 output board, but no way to get the calibration for the 6143  
input board:

1) the comedi_calibrate gives:

init_setup() failed for pci-6143

2) comedi_soft_calibrate gives:

Failed to find calibrator for ni_pcimio driver.
Caught exception: Failed to find calibrator for ni_pcimio driver.

Any suggestion?
Thanks
Alessandro Toso
