Hello,

I have problems finding my device (USB-6356 (32 MS)) on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-122-generic x86_64).

I am using #include <NIDAQmx.h> which is successfully installed. Howevere trying to determine the device name and runing a self test gives ERROR -200220

$lsusb

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 3923:7561 National Instruments Corp. USB-6356 (32 MS)

$nidaqmxconfig --self-test Dev2

Failed

Error -200220
Device identifier is invalid.
Device Specified: Dev2

$nilsdev

 no result.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The Bus 005 Device 002 is a PCI enumeration naming. You will first have to configure a NI-DAQmx configuration that assigns an alias to all detected hardware. Under Windows this is done with NI-MAX but under Linux you need to run the nidaqmxconfig utility as pointed out in this page.
