App Buffer is the buffer your application uses for the data, Driver Buffer is used by the driver, the callback needs to copy data from the Driver Buffer to the App Buffer so that no data is lost and your application can process the data whilst the driver is collecting more data.

Hi Martyn,

So for each channel, there are two blocks of buffer. From example of streaming, one block is max value while the other block is min value. What does that mean?

Those are for the aggregated data when using downsampling, see the Programmer's Guide for further information. Raw data will use the Max buffer.
