That is pretty standard looking.

Could you give a reference for that. I'm not sure what you are referring to.
if you mean available_scan_masks then that is used to allow the core
to demux data if you have to read all channels out (or some subset) rather
than any combination.

We don't have a bulk put to the buffers. Have thought about it in the past
but it reality it's not that much efficient in the core because in many cases
we have to reorganize the data.

It's a tricky corner. Sometimes people just drain the buffer on basis device
recovers, some other devices need a reset.  
There isn't a good way to communication it to userspace though.

I'm sorry to say I'm guessing here don't use this tool.  I'm still stuck in using my own tooling
(mostly the stuff in the kernel tree in tools/iio) that predate anyone writing nice
userspace code :)

What do you think looks wrong?  You should have 3 16 bit values.
You haven't turned on the timestamp so they will be tightly packed
That hex dump looks plausible if it's storing the actual raw buffer data.

To convert that to real data you need to apply masking and scale factors.
