Hi All,
I have a NI USB-6001 DAQ device that I am trying to get working under linux. My distro is opensuse 13.1, and I am trying to use ni-daqmx base 14 to talk to the device. After much messing about I finally managed to get the drivers installed, however I'm not having any luck communicating with the device. The output from dmesg indicates that the device is plugged in and recognised, however the output from lsdaq does not list the device at all as you can see below.
The user guide for the device suggests that it is supported by NI-DAQmx 9.9 and later admittedly the doc is written from a mswindows-centric viewpoint, so I
hope that applies to linux also.
Has anyone managed to get this device to work under linux? Alternatively, can anyone think why it isn't detected?
Thanks for any assistance
