+ * COMEDI_DIGITAL_TRIG_DISABLE returns the trigger to its default, inactive,
+ * unconfigured state.
+ *
+ * COMEDI_DIGITAL_TRIG_ENABLE_EDGES sets the rising and/or falling edge inputs
+ * that each can fire the trigger.
+ *
+ * COMEDI_DIGITAL_TRIG_ENABLE_LEVELS sets a combination of high and/or low
+ * level inputs that can fire the trigger.
+ *
+ * "left-shift" is useful if the trigger has more than 32 inputs to specify the
+ * first input for this configuration.
+ *
+ * Some sequences of INSN_CONFIG_DIGITAL_TRIG instructions may have a (partly)
+ * accumulative effect, depending on the low-level driver.  This is useful
+ * when setting up a trigger that has more than 32 inputs or has a combination
+ * of edge and level triggered inputs.
