These cards do not have residual counters, so BLOCKIO transfers must acquire integer multiples of the packet size before completing the scan. This can be lengthy for the PC-CARDs which must acquire 2,048 samples between interrupts for BLOCKIO transfers. In general, it is best to allow the library to determine the best transfer mode (SINGLEIO vs. BLOCKIO) for these boards.
