Denis,
There are two different answers to this question, both of them is that it is possible albeit not with as much freedom as a Windows machine offers.
Answer 1 is that using the FP-1000/1001 Programmers Reference Manual you can communicate with FieldPoint serial modules from any OS/computer that has a serial port. This solution works with FP-1000 & FP-1001 Netork modules ONLY. No other network modules (FP-1600, FP-2000,FP-2010,FP-2015,FP-3000) can be used with this approach. All of the commands documented in the FP-1000/1001 Programmers Reference Manual, are encapsulated in two LabVIEW libraries which should work on all OS's that LabVIEW works on). The libraries can be downloaded from: ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/fieldpoint/LVFPOpto/
Answer 2: Using the F
P-20XX modules, you can use a LabVIEW RT machine on Windows to download code into a FP-20XX module with that makes data available via custom communication routines (either serial, TCP or UDP based). In this way, you need a Windows machine to do the initial development, but the code will run on the Real-Time OS in the FP-20XX module and communicate to your Linux based machine.
In either solution, you do not have FieldPoint Explorer available, unless it is on a separate machine that is used solely for configuration purposes.
