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

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. In LabVIEW, you shouldn't have an issue using the instruments if the drivers are supported for your Linux distribution and are installed correctly.
