Orocos needs to be configured to your hardware, this involves:
1. Loading the correct kernel modules
2. Identifying the device number that Comedi is assigning to each card
3. Set the correct device number in the Orocos start.ops file
## Kernel Modules
Comedi can automatically load the correct modules for most hardware - the exception is the Agilent interferometer card, for which Joerg wrote a custom driver module. If you need to support an Agilent N1231 (A or B version), then your system will require manual loading of a set of kernel modules.
(Further detail needed)
The module names for your hardware can be found on the [Comedi website](https://www.comedi.org/hardware.html). Searching for just the number part of the card name is a quick way to find it.
