Hi everyone.

I'm trying to read all 32 channels of a Xycom 566 into a 
waveform record, but I cannot get it to work.

I have tested the board with AI records and it works fine. 
When I remove the AI's and put in a WF, it just looks at me 
stupidly.

I've got the board configured for SE, -10V to 10V and it's 
set up as Card 0.

dbpr reports PACT=0, BUSY=0, RARM=0 (unless I set it, in 
which case it stays set), UDF=0, NORD=0, STAT=READ. I've 
also got the SCAN set to 1 second.

When I execute "ai_xy566_io_report 1", I get a nice listing 
of all 32 channels and they do change (consistently) with 
the input voltage I apply. However, when I display memory 
starting at the BPTR address, I see 64 bytes (I specified 
longs in the WF record) of nice empty space that never 
changes.

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Want to tell me? Please?
