nirlp and daqmx together?

[johnbull]

I've got a PXI-6529 card that appears to work with nirlp out of the box (I didn't have to do much) that is not supported by DAQmx under Linux.  When I access my other cards from DAQmx, the DAQmx driver says the card is "Not Available" so I'm guessing the nirlp driver is taking over.

Is there a way to target the nirlp only to cards I want to use it with, or are the updates to DAQmx (Currently 8.0.2) that support the 6529 card?

Thanks

Hi John,

The DAQmx 8.0.2 release is the newest for Linux, so let's make the nirlpk module less greedy.

The module attaches to all NI PCI/PXI devices -- see lines 87..91 in nirlpk.c for the association table. If you want to limit the 6529 to just this module, change PCI_ANY_ID to the PID of the 6529. I don't recall it off the top of my head, but 'lspci -nn' should be able to identify it for you.

Perfect!  I added 0x7327 (PXI-6529)  to the PID and voila, it is the only one registered by the nirlpk module, and I have DAQmx access to the other cards.

Thanks!
