% memory on the device. The nonvolatile memory is used to store
% calibration coefficients, system information, and user data.  Locations
% 0x000 to 0x07F are reserved for firmware use and may not be written.
% "DeviceIndex" is a small integer, the array index specifying which HID
%       device in the array returned by PsychHID('Devices') is interface 0
%       of the desired USB-1208FS box.
% "address" is the 16-bit start address for the write.
% "data" is a vector with length up to 59, one element per byte.
% See also DaqWriteCode, DaqMemRead, Daq, DaqTest, PsychHIDTest.
