Issue 112

Fixes #112

Potentially here we should link to the different capabilities of the hardware depending what software it is used with.
E.g. Analog Inputs in the OE GUI are acquired at 25kHz, while in Bonsai at 100kHz. - are there any more such differences?

These are the differences I think are true off the dome:

Feature	Bonsai	Open Ephys GUI
Digital Inputs	Adjustable sample rate (or one sample whenever digital input status changes)	25 kHz sample rate
Analog Inputs	100 kHz sample rate	25 kHz sample rate
Digital Outputs	Supported	Not yet supported
Analog Outputs	Supported	Not yet supported
Headstage 64	Supported	Not yet supported
Headstage RHS2116	Supported	Not yet supported

@bparks13 can you help fill out this table or correct anything I might've gotten wrong here?

I made a separate PR (#117) to merge into this branch. Please take a look and incorporate my edits as you wish. Then I will approve review.

@cjsha There are a couple other things to mention, but you've highlighted most of the differences. The only other things I can see when glancing through the Onix1 library is:

Feature	Bonsai	Open Ephys GUI
HeadstageNric1384	Supported	Not supported yet
Any Miniscope	Supported	Will not be supported

Finally the devices on the headstages have the same data streams and sample rates? Best wishes, Cecilia *Open Ephys Production Site*

I think they're the same, maybe with the exception that the bno055 calibration data might be parsed differently by the GUI and by the Onix1 Bonsai package. I don't think we have to explain that here though

[bparks13]

The Bno055 streams should be approximately the same sampling rate (more specifically, the PolledBno055 too). However, users in Bonsai have the ability to disable specific data streams which can increase the sampling rate. They also have the ability to change the sampling rate, while in the GUI we have it locked at all data streams at 100 Hz. That might be worth mentioning, since they do have fairly different capabilities.

I agree with Cris that the mention of how the calibration data is parsed isn't worth mentioning.
