NI DAQmx drivers for xUbuntu

[neelesh314]

I need to send triggers from a machine that runs xubuntu to a machine that runs windows using NI USB 6501. I cannot find link to the driver of NI DAQmx driver for xubuntu. Does the driver even exist for xubuntu?

The NI USB-6501 is not supported by NI-DAQmx for Linux.

That said, there is a reverse-engineered USB-6501 driver in Comedi, as well as a usermode python implementation. Neither of these were written by NI nor has NI verified anything about their functionality; as such, your mileage may vary.

Thanks for the reply. I will try the solution by Comedi.
