Hello Lee,

nitpick: You move range_ni_E_ao_ext to the header. However that header
doesn't use range_ni_E_ao_ext, so the subject is technically wrong.

I think a downside of this solution is that range_ni_E_ao_ext might be
duplicated in the object files. (Ditto for the status quo BTW.)

I think the right approach to fix the compiler warning and the
duplication is to declare range_ni_E_ao_ext external in the header and
keep the definition in ni_mio_common.c.

Best regards
Uwe
