Labview and Linux

[Christoph Heinrich Baumann]

Hi!

I'm quite a newbie to labview and have some problems that no search
machine could solve so far 😉

I using Labview 6 on a Linux machine and want to use a NI PCI-MIO-16E-4
card for in- and output. Unfortunately I found out after I installed the
system etc. that LinuxLabview doesn't obviously come with readymade DAQ
support. I found the _drivers_ from comedi.org and managed to install
them, but in the packages were no vi's included.

Has anybody a hint or link how I might access my card (without switching
the whole system to Windows 😉 )?

Thanks!

Christoph

Hi Chris,

Check out this link:
http://www.uni-saarland.de/fak8/wwm/Members/Kempf/comedi_vi/comedi_vi_e.html

It has CIN based VIs. Can't say I've used them. I'm not a big fan of
CINs so I've used function calls to the shared library, comedilib.so.
It's a nice alternative to CINs.

Hope this helps.
