All,
The forum has a good amount of information talking about the ethernet based cDAQ devices and the struggles folks have had to use them on Linux.
I specifically must use Ubuntu 16.04 for my system (3rd party hardware that is the heart of the system). I now need to bring in some data acquisition into the system to interact with the specialized 3rd party hardware. I'm considering an NI hardware solution, specifically a USB-based cDAQ-9178.
Has anyone had success using USB-based cDAQ on Linux? How about on debian based systems?
Thanks in advance.

The July 2019 Release has cDAQ-9178 support. Of course, there is no officially supplied Debian packaging. Some people have had luck converting things with alien. This is not an NI-supported configuration, but it may work for you.

I have a cDAQ-9174 and Centos recognizes it.
I have been trying to get the drivers to work with ubuntu for sometime now with limited success. I have VISA drivers working fine, but so far no luck getting the daqmx drivers to work. I can run nilsdev without error, but it does not list the cDAQ using ubuntu. (Works fine with Centos.)
