5.14 _7300_DI_DMA_Start
@ Description
The function will perform digital input by DMA data transfer.
It will take place in the background which will not stop until the N-th input data
is transferred or your program execute the _7300_DI_DMA_Abort function to

Bus Mastering DMA mode of PCI-7300A:
PCI bus mastering offers the highest possible speed available on the
PCI-7300A. When the function _7300_DI_DMA_Start is executed, it will
enable PCI bus master operation. This is conceptually similar to DMA (Direct
Memory Access) transfers in a PC but is really PCI bus mastering. It does not
