uldaq not work for usb-6008 but usb-201

[hktranstech]

Hello Expert users,

My purpose is to used NI DAQ to convert analog signal to digital for a displacement sensor by raspberry pi running uldaq (https://github.com/mccdaq/uldaq).

it works prefect for my usb-201, however not work for my new purchased usb-6008 with error prompt "No DAQ device is detected" as attached.

I have checked the usb-6008 is working under windows envirnment using NI utilities.

Would you please share your experience if I misssed something to config the new model to make it work under linux envirnement instead of windows ?

Thanks,

Calvin

yeah, ulDAQ is for mccdaq devices and DAQmx is for NI-DAQ devices.

USB-6008 is made by NI

USB-201 is made by MCC

You need to use appropriate drivers for each.

Hello Santhosh,

Really Thanks for your advice and information.

By the way, any suggestion for NI product ie: my usb-6008 can be used like uldaq with similar function for my raspberry to call ?

Many Thanks ,

Cheers 😛

Yeah, you can install NI DAQmx drivers to use USB-6008.

You can install NI DAQmx drivers for linux but based on my quick search, it looks like the drivers don't support ARM and may not work on rpi.
