I have already post this request on the french forum
I have a problem to use my USB-6008 on linux. I use Mandriva One 2007 ( 2007.0 ) I installed NIKAL16, NI-VISA-4.2.0 & nidaqmxbase-2.1.0. Installation looks fine.
When I run lsdaq, I have this message : [francois@localhost National Instrument]$ lsdaq -------------------------------- Detecting National Instruments DAQ Devices Found the following DAQ Devices:
NI-DAQmx
Base has found a device with incompatible firmware. You may need to
reload the firmware on a machine with NI-DAQmx installed for the
following device:
NI USB-6008 Serial Number: 012F42CB --------------------------------
I have not installed NI-DAQmx on my computer so this link is not sutable http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A3C7200E881696FA862570AD0050E8D0.
I have follow the procedure to switch firmware with a windows computer (

). First with Vista and daqmx 3, secondly on XP with daqmx base 2.1 without any change.
