Instrument Driver VI's for Linux

Does anyone know if there are already written VI's which use the comedi
suite for data acquisition? Preferrably ones very similiar to the windows
based NIDAQ (like the Configure, Read Data, Write Data, etc) but I imagine
there will be some differences? If not, I'm ready to start making the suite
of these.
Thanks,
Caleb

Caleb:
I am working in the same that you and I saw your questions in the comedi list
and I am trying the same. I work with the PCI-6025 and I saw that you are
working with the PCI-6023 but the installation is the same. Furthemore I have
installed the driver edaq-0.9.5 of National Instrument but the analog output is
not supported.
Now I have some problems with the installation of Comedi in Debian 2.2 but I
will resolve this problem and then I will begin to make the vi's with comedi
inside, I think that we can help us.
Please mantain the contact.

Is there a USB Instrument driver developer tool for CVI

Is there a USB instrument driver developer tool/guide for CVI?

Hi! ASIC LabRat,
I agree with your comment. IVI drivers take too much overhead and the executing speed can be very slow compared to the drivers developed using VISA platform. The previous link sent by the NI engineer was very old (2001) and doesn't really help you at all.
Please take a look at this one instead: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4713.

Need driver nokia 5200 for linux fedora core 8

Hi......
Where i can download driver nokia 5200 for internet connectivity with nokia 5200 linux fedora core 8?
Thanks

The required driver is already in the kernel (cdc_acm).
Although the N95 is used in this example, it should work for a 5200 as well:

USB drive: what format for Linux and Mac?

I'm wondering what's the best format for an external USB harddrive to be used both on Macs (Tiger and Leopard) and Linux . I'm familiar with Linux, but not much with Mac.
I'd like to avoid vfat (the MS-DOS format) because symbolic links aren't allowed there.
Regards,
Ryo

Following up my own question, I've formatted the USB drive in hfsplus and it works both on Macs and on my Linux box (Debian testing).
One issue is that I had to turn off the journaling of the hfsplus filesystem, because (it seems) the Linux hfsplus driver doesn't support writing to the journaled hfsplus filesystem. The earliest discussion I found was from 2005 or 2006, and it's strange that the journaling support has still not been incorporated into the mainstream Linux kernels.
Without journaling, I have to be extra careful when I remove the drive. This minor annoyance aside, it works.
But, I'm still open to suggestions. For example, what's the situation of Mac OS X in supporting ext3 or reiserfs?
Cheers,
Ryo

PCI-6602 driver for LINUX

I am looking for a driver PCI-6602 for LINUX. Does it exists?

Hello;
NI doesn't have drivers for DAQ devices and Linux, however, there is a Company that does drivers for Linux and our DAQ boards, named Comedi.
Comedi's link to their website is:

VXI support under LabVIEW for Linux

A potential client contacted me regarding a small project using VXI hardware under Linux. I'm considering using LabVIEW for Linux but I'm not too clear on NI's VXI driver support and whether they have a VI library for the particular hardware. I contacted NI tech support over the phone but they didn't have any answers. BTW, I've used LV with PCI and ISA DAQ boards under Windows and Linux but I've never used VXI.
Here is the hardware in question:
PCI/VXI-MXI-2(8026) - PCI to VXI bridge
VXI-AO-48XDC - 48 channel analog output board
VXI-MIO-64XE-10 - multifunction DAQ board
Anyone know what's involved in building a LV app for this system under Linux, i.e. what's NI's HW driver and LabVIEW support?
-kevin

Kevin,
National Instruments has NI-VXI for Linux. The driver provides support for the PCI/VXI-MXI-2(8026), and VXI embedded Controllers. The NI-VXI driver also provides the programming API that will allow you to communicate with the VXI boards in your system.
You can find a KnowledgeBase that shows what versions of Linux are currently supported by NI-VXI here.
If you have never used VXI before I should note that it is different from using a PCI DAQ card. You might want to read this here which will explain a little about VXI.
The LabVIEW for Linux system requirements can be found here. I should note that LabVIEW will work on the 2.6 kernel, however since you are looking at NI-VXI you will need to use the 2.4 kernel anyway.
Hopefully this answers your question, but if you have any further questions feel free to ask!

Is there any evaluation version for downloading?
Thanks,

So strange,
I go through three pages but does not find any entry for download,
hmm...,

3. press download..
====
LabVIEW Interface Generator for LabWindows/CVI Instrument Drivers
System Requirements
NI LabVIEW 7.1 or later
Windows 2000/NT/XP
Use the LabVIEW Interface Generator for LabWindows/CVI Instrument Drivers to create LabVIEW VIs for VXIplug&play and IVI-C instrument drivers from function panel (.fp) files.
Instrument Driver Network
Before using the conversion utility to create a new instrument driver wrapper, please visit ni.com/idnet to see if a LabVIEW Plug and Play instrument driver is available for your device. The Instrument Driver Network (IDNET) provides support for more than 3,000 different instrument models from over 170 different instrument vendors.
Recommendations
This utility was created for developers of C-based instrument drivers who wish to provide a LabVIEW interface, but do not develop a LabVIEW Plug and Play driver. By developing the C and LabVIEW interfaces together, it keeps the components synchronized, and eliminates the need for customers to create their own LabVIEW interfaces. Vendors should distribute the LabVIEW wrapper files with the associated VXIplug&play or IVI instrument driver, so that end users do not have to visit multiple web sites to download the complete driver.
If you are not an instrument vendor, we recommend that you use this utility only if you have instrument driver expertise. Access to the instrument driver source code is preferred, in case you need to edit the C instrument driver in LabWindows/CVI.
After generation, the wrapper VIs should be tested with the instrument.
Instructions
Once you install the software, simply access the utility from the Tools>>Instrumentation>>Import CVI Instrument Driver...menu in LabVIEW. This software replaces the built-in tool and provides feature enhancements.
For additional information on this utility, view the resources below.

Find Instrument Driver will not find 6070E vi

I am trying to find vi which have been written for PXI-6070E card. Some basic, like output 1 V out of the DAC1OUT.
When I use the 'Find Instrument Driver'...and query National Instrument (Company) and 6070E (Additional keywords) I get no drivers? I recall being able to get drivers before.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Find Instrument Driver tool is for finding drivers for instruments like scopes, DMMs, power supplies, etc. The PXI-6070E is a DAQ card, so examples for it would be installed when you install the DAQmx drivers. You can find the examples in the Example Finder (Help -> Find Examples), and search for "DAQ", or go to the Hardware Input and Output -> DAQmx folder from the tree menu.

GPIB Instrument Driver Installation

Hi,
I'm currently making software that communicates with several different type of GPIB instruments such as power meters, spectrum analyzers, etc. With these instruments, I make different types of measurements. Obviously, to run these intruments I download the drivers or make my own. Now here is my question: Is there a way to implement a driver installation interface in my software so it could allow any user to easily install drivers for any types of instruments? What is also tricky is, these drivers have to be used in my code afterwards to get measurement data. Hope my intentions are clear enough!
Thanks!!

I don't understand the relationship between VI Analyzer and IVI. The VI Analyzer is used for checking your code for a variety of style recomendations. IVI is a standard for instrument driver interchangability.
For the instruments that fall into one of the 8 defined IVI classes, you should use them and IVI class drivers in your LabVIEW program. Right now, those are the only classes and your network analyzer isn't included. You can go to http://www.ivifoundation.org/ and check the status of other classes but I think the only additions on the horizon are AC power supplies and counter/timers. Since IVI has been around for 8 years and that's an average of 1 instrument a year, we'll probably have to wait another 2 years before these classes are released and if you want a network analyser class, you'll probably have to wait several more years for that to get approved.
Until this happens, you will probably need to provide your own drivers (or wrappers around existing drivers) for instruments that don't fall into existing classes. They may lack some of the true IVI functions such as state caching and simulation but the interchangable part would not be that hard to do if you can define a set of common functions that such an instrument has to provide.

NI GPIB driver support for linux 2.4

Is the NI linux GPIB driver compatible with the Linux 2.4 kernel? Does the NI linux GPIB driver provide a generic device interface (i.e. independent of LabVIEW)? I would like to access the driver using the POSIX interface (i.e. read/write/mmap etc.) via a standard device node (i.e. in '/dev'). We are looking to add a PCI-GPIB interface to our generic control and monitor system. The initial application will involve special purpose software interfacing with external test equipment (scope, power supply, etc.). The current platform is an Intel based industrial PC running Linux 2.4. This system will NOT be able to support data visualization via LabVIEW.

Unfortunately, the current BETA driver (0.6) released by NI does not support version 2.4.x of the Linux kernel. There are plans for support in the future but no timeline has been specified. I would suggest checking back with NI on occassion at http://www.ni.com/linux for the latest news and support of the Linux OS.

I would like to know which instrument driver works for the Tektronix TDS 544A

I am trying to use TDS544A with CVI and downloaded the driver for TDS 540 and it didnt seam to work... should it? If not, which one will???

Hello,
Well, it appears that you are correct in that it must be somewhat different since you are getting the errors you described. Since that is the case and we don't have an instrument driver for that particular instrument, I would recommend one of two things. Try to modify the existing instrument driver to send the commands that your instrument expects, or make regular Visa calls to communicate with your instrument.
Also, I would encourage you to submit a request for the specific instrument driver you are interested in. I cannot guarantee when or if it will be created, but they will evaluate what can be done and get back to you. You can submit that request here:

How to format a hard drive for Linux?

I have a hdd (500gb) that used to be my internal drive for my MBP 2012. It currently has Mac OS 10.10 and Ubuntu 14.04. I want to erase the drive though so I can make it strictly for Linux. The question is which format do I choose in disk utility. These are my options:
Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted)
Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled, Encrypted)
MS-DOS (FAT)
ExFAT
Thanks in advance

Format it from the Linux installer. You cannot format it using Disk Utility because you cannot format a startup volume.
