I think that can be many things... What: /sys/.../device[n]/buffer/scan_elements/accel[_x0]_type KernelVersion: 2.6.37 Contact: linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Description: Description of the scan element data storage within the buffer and hence the form in which it is read from userspace. Form is [s|u]bits/storagebits. s or u specifies if signed (2's complement) or unsigned. bits is the number of bits of data and storagebits is the space (after padding) that it occupies in the buffer. Note that some devices will have additional information in the unused bits so to get a clean value, the bits value must be used to mask the buffer output value appropriately. The storagebits value also specifies the data alignment. So s48/64 will be a signed 48 bit integer stored in a 64 bit location aligned to a a64 bit boundary. For other storage combinations this attribute will be extended appropriately.
