💖 iio_read_channel_average_raw — Kernel API Manual (9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for iio_read_channel_average_raw — yes, the average-raw read girlie is here and she's lowkey iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

iio_read_channel_average_raw — read from a given channel.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int iio_read_channel_average_raw (struct iio_channel *chan , int *val );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• chan — The channel being queried. like, the channel you're asking, bestie 💅
• val — Value read back. the read-back value lands here 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay, important note, bestie: if standard units are required, raw reads from iio channels need the offset (default 0) and scale (default 1) to be applied as:

(raw + offset) * scale

and in contrast to the normal iio_read_channel_raw, this function returns the average of multiple reads. periodt. 🌿
