Hello,
I have an NI 6009 USB DAQ (at least that is what the label in the case reads) and I have installed it under Fedora 11
with kernel 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i586.
I can run the examples and I have been able to generate voltages at both analogue outputs and to read them through
all 4 differential inputs. Nevertheless, there are some anomalies:
1.- When I run lsdaq I get the following output:
Detecting National Instruments DAQ Devices
Found the following DAQ Devices:
NI USB-6008: "Dev1" (USB0::0x3923::0x717A::00E101F0::RAW)
Thus, the system seems to be detecting a 6008 instead of the 6009. Can this be due to an error in the
installed drivers?
2.- Consistently with the above result, I run the mxbaseconfig utility and the sampling rate for the different
analog input channels can only be set to 10000 Hz, instead of the expected 48 kHz. I imagine that the voltage
conversion is also being done at 12 bit instead of 14, but I haven't tested it. Is that a consequence of problem
No. 1?
3.- When I run the examples, for instance acquire1Scan etc., the program takes about 15-20 seconds to
finish, although the final output is apparently correct. Is that delay normal? Also, from time to time without
apparent cause the programs cause a segment violation, running them again usually works.
4.- Finally, is there any documentation available anywhere about the program commands and functions, that
could facilitate interpreting and modifying the examples and building new ones?
Thank you very much for any help
