Need Model code for PXI-6230 for NI-VISA driver wizard

Solved!
Go to solution

I want to use the PXI-6230 on linux using NI-VISA for register level programming.  However, the inf file given in the mhddk_visa doesn't have the PXI-6230 contain in the file.  I tried using the wizard, but don't know the Model code of the hardware.  Does anyone from NI have that info or supply me with an inf file that has the number inside?

Since you're using Linux, use the lspci -nn command to learn list the Product ID for the PXI-6230. You can restrict the output to NI PXI/PCI devices by using the option -d 1093: after the command.

Thank you.  Now I found out a new trick in figuring out model code numbers for any device.
