 DMA mostly works for the PCI-DIO32HS, but only in timed input mode.
 
+The PCI-DIO-32HS/PCI-6533 has a configurable external trigger. Setting
+scan_begin_arg to 0 or CR_EDGE triggers on the leading edge. Setting
+scan_begin_arg to CR_INVERT or (CR_EDGE | CR_INVERT) triggers on the
+trailing edge.
+
 This driver could be easily modified to support AT-MIO32HS and
 AT-MIO96.
