    #  If there are no mux boards in the system, OnboardChans (16) channels are
    #  digitized.  If there are mux boards in the system,
    #  (4 * OnboardChans * NumMuxBoards) channels are digitized.
    #  The station file must contain an entry for each channel digitized.

    # Detriggering occurs when the trigger voltage becomes less than LowValue.
    # HighValue minus LowValue must be >= 0.1 volt.
    # For more information on triggering, see the National Instruments "PCI-MIO
    # E Series User Manual", Jan 1997 edition, chapter 3.
