Linux NI-DAQmx Base 64-bit application support?

Solved!
Go to solution

I'm running Scientific Linux 6.x developing custom applications that utilize data transmitted/acquired via PCI-6259 cards. Recently the application is approaching the 3.5 or so gig RAM limit with 32 bit applications. We're using NI-DAQmx Base 3.6.0 installed in fall of 2012 so I figured maybe there was a newer version of the driver that supported 64-bit applications. It appears that version 15 (the most recent version for Linux) still does not. I noticed that NI-DAQmx 16.1 for Windows does support 64-bit applications, though. Does anyone on here know the time-table for release of a driver with 64-bit application compatibility for Linux?

Hi James,

 

NI-DAQmx Base 15.0 for Linux did add 64-bit usermode support for LabVIEW and C applications. It appears that the readme and download page weren't fully updated to reflect that :-S
