NI-DAQmx Base is an open Linux driver and programming interface for NI E Series multifunction data acquisition devices and NI DIO-96 digital I/O devices.
NI-DAQmx Base is an open Linux driver and programming interfacefor NI E Series multifunction data acquisition devices and NIDIO-96 digital I/O devices.
The new driver software offers Linuxusers innovative NI-DAQmx measurement services technology as wellas increased ease of use in connecting with high-performance NIdata acquisition hardware.
NI-DAQmx Base offers advancedmeasurement services features including a clean, concise NI-DAQmxprogramming interface, programmatic channel and task creation andtight integration with more than 70 LabView analysis functions,features previously available only with NI-DAQmx for Windows.
Thenew driver software also includes ready-to-use LabView virtualinstruments and C function features similar to those included inthe full-featured version of NI-DAQmx measurement servicessoftware.
National Instruments built the NI-DAQmx Base driversoftware for Linux using the NI Measurement Hardware DriverDevelopment Kit (DDK) and developed the software almost entirelyin the multiplatform LabView graphical development environment.This lightweight and agile architecture makes it possible toquickly develop NI-DAQmx Base driver software for additionaloperating systems in the future.
Engineers currently using otheroperating systems such as VxWorks, QNX and Mac OS X can use thelow-level programming interfaces included in the NI MeasurementHardware DDK to create drivers for a variety of NI measurementproducts.
