Is it possible to use PXI-1033 chassis with PXI-5422, PXI-4072, PXI-5152, PXI-4110 on OpenSuSe 13.2 GNU/Linux?

[StrelkovNO]

Dear all!

We have NI PXI-1033 chassis with various PXI modules such as PXI-5422, PXI-4072, PXI-5152, PXI-4110. They work very well on Windows 7 x64 with LabVIEW, DMM, FGEN, DCPower and so on.

I tried to use NI hardware on OpenSuSe 13.2 GNU/Linux (64-bit). I tried to follow your instructions (such as this).

So I installed PXI Platform Services 17.0, NI-VISA 17 and NI System Configuration 17.0.

I registered PXI-1033 chassis with

$ nipxiconfig --identify-chassis 1 "National Instruments" "NI PXI-1033"

$ nipxiconfig -l -v
[verbose]: Increasing verbosity = 3
Chassis 1: National Instruments NI PXI-1033
    Controller: National Instruments NI PXI-1033 Integrated MXI Express

After that NIvisaic shows the "PXI Miscellaneous Resources" - "PXI0::1::BACKPLANE".

Which software should I install to use PXI-5422, PXI-4072, PXI-5152, PXI-4110 modules on GNU/Linux? I mean both programmatically (as pyvisa) and GUI.

Will PXI modules be available from LabView on GNU/Linux?

Hi StrelkovNO,

To be able to interface with our modular instrument products, the corresponding drivers must be installed. Here is a list of the supported drivers in Linux. In LabVIEW, you shouldn't have an issue using the instruments if the drivers are supported for your Linux distribution and are installed correctly.
