National Instruments is releasing our primary data acquisition driver NI-DAQmx 8.0 on Linux tomorrow. It supports all PCIe/PCI/PXI plug-in DAQ devices supported by NI-DAQmx for Windows as well as SCXI and SCC signal conditioning hardware on Mandriva 10.1/Mandrake 2006, Suse 9.2/9.3, and Redhat Workstation 3. Although this release does not include PCMCIA or USB support, DAQmx Base and MHDDK do continue to support these devices. The NI-DAQmx API supports LabVIEW and GCC and is distributed under the NI Software License. NI-DAQmx for Linux uses the same codebase as the Windows version of the driver. National Instruments is still committed to continuing to provide RLP hardware documentation as it becomes available (i.e. NI PCI/PXI 6509, 651x, 6520, 6521, and 6528 RLP documentation is being added this week.) DAQmx Base is still supported on Linux and along with MHDDK is a useful register level programming and driver development resource. So here is where NI’s DAQ drivers are today: MHDDK - low level register access code, very small footprint, DAQ HW documention, requires customization, full source code in C++ DAQmx Base - higher level DAQmx compatible API, source code in LabVIEW from the high level API down to the low level register accesses, customizable because internals are written in LabVIEW DAQmx 8.0 - directly compatible with DAQmx 8.0 for Windows You can find more information here: http://www.ni.com/linux/ Please email/call me if you have any questions.
