Comedi                                             08/06/2025                            COMEDI_SET_OTHER_SOU(3)

       This function allows selection of a source signal for something on a subdevice other than a gate (which
       uses comedi_set_gate_source) or a clock (which uses comedi_set_clock_source). The other parameter selects
       which “other” we are configuring, and is driver-dependent. The source parameter selects the source we
       which to use for the “other”. If the subdevice does not support configuring its “other” sources on a
       per-channel basis, then the channel parameter will be ignored.

       As an example, this function is used to select which PFI digital input channels should be used as the
       A/B/Z signals when running a counter on an NI M-Series board as a quadrature encoder. The other parameter
       selects either the A, B, or Z signal, and the source parameter is used to specify which PFI digital input
       channel the external A, B, or Z signal is physically connected to.

       This function is only useable on subdevices that provide support for the INSN_CONFIG_SET_OTHER_SRC
       configuration instruction.
