Subject: XyCom XVME-566 adc problem.
From: Bill Brown <[email protected]>

I've run into a problem with the xvme-566 adc.  If I try to use
it in either of the differential input modes I get an error from the
driver at iocInit time.  We want to use it in "scanned-differential"
mode.

The error message is:
  PV: blioc402:diffAdc000 devAiXy566Di (init_record) ai_xy566_driver
error

I've looked at the driver and it seems like it should ought to work, but
since it doesn't, I must be missing something.  Does anyone have any
ideas?

Let's see ... R3.13.0b12, mv162, the board works fine in single-ended
mode
(which probably won't be good enough for this application), vxWorks 5.2.
The record is attached.

TIA!
