USB625:1 incompatible on linux?

Hello,

I really hope that question has never been asked before (i searched for quite a while now).

Context: I am working with a Thorlabs OCT system (Callisto) which i composed of a NI USB6251 card that control all the components inside. The Thorlabs company told me they don't have a linux compatible SDK and told me to check with the NI SDK. As of now I tried to connect via VISA and nidaqmx from my linux distribution (Scientific Linux 7 (CentOS based)) but I can't seem to find the usb device anywhere. I tried on a windows computer with NI MAX and it worked so now I really am stuck to this point.

 

So the question is: As I am not working on labview, is there a way to communicate with the USB6251 from my OS? If yes, is there example on how to do so?

 

Sorry if this sound like a dumb question, I am not really use to work on interface.

Which driver version did you try? I found DAQmx base 15.0 on web but,

it seems that the driver doesn't provide a support for USB-6251...

(nevertheless PXI-6251 are supported...)

 

Looking into this forum, NI-DAQmx Base for LabVIEW 2017 on Mac OS X

the driver is the latest version.

 

Do you have other device can be tried?
