And the followed sentence states that

To my knowledge, the only supported USB devices are USB cDAQ-917x.

https://www.ni.com/en-il/shop/model/cdaq-9171.html is a chassis only.

making the solution much more expensive.

I'm new to NI devices. never thinking devices as such does not support Linux.

thanks again.
