Martin,

One small comment to your minutes: I do not recall discussing in the meeting to deprecate the multiple channel descriptors. Did I miss something?

The multiple channel descriptors have an advantage over the normal file descriptors that you can combine them to write to multiple file in one command. If digital doesn't deprecate them, then I would suggest that we don't either.

Cheers,
Marq

Noted corrections/actions;

* bits2real, real2bits should be usable in the analog context

* action: Martin and David to resolved whether the math operator and
math system function equivalence table should be chapter 10 or chapter
4.

* create a section 10.2.1 for $driver functions.

* say @(driver_update(..) not driver_update in the table in 10.2.1

* remove two 's's in 10.3, add "if required."

read/write in same iteration is not supported.

* reword 1st paragraph in section 10.4.3 to flow better.

* 10.5 - change title to be consistent with the table name in section
10.2
