[PATCH 11/17] iio: core: Introduce _inputoffset for differential channels

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@xxxxxxxxxx>

Address an ABI gap for device where the offset of both lines in a
differential pair may be controlled so as to allow a wider range of
inputs, but without having any direct effect of the differential
measurement.

_offset cannot be used as to remain in line with existing usage,
userspace would be expected to apply it as (_raw + _offset) * scale
whereas _inputoffset is not.
Similarly calibbias is expected to tweak the measurement seen, not
the adjust the two lines of the differential pair.

Needed for in_capacitanceX-capacitanceY_inputoffset for the
AD7746 CDC driver.

Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@xxxxxxxxxx>

I''m not entirely happy with the naming on this one, so if anyone
has a better idea I'm definitely open to it!

+Description:
+		For differential channels, this an offset that is applied
+		equally to both inputs. As the reading is of the difference
+		between the two inputs this should not be applied to the _raw
+		reading by userspace (unlike _offset) and unlike calibbias
+		it does not affect the differential value measured because
+		the effect of _inputoffset cancels out across the two inputs
+		that make up the differential pair. It is expressed with
+		the same scaling as _raw.
