Working with PCIe 6535B

[joem333]

Hello, 

I'm currently trying to get started using the NI PCIe 6535B in Linux RHEL7.

I was wondering if it's preferred to use C or LabVIEW and how to go about using either option. I've looked for C examples, as that's the preferred method, and have found very little. 

I also, due to my work situation, would require an offline installer for drivers if anyone knows where those may be.

I would appreciate any help that can be provided on this topic.

It depends if you are more comfortable with C or LabVIEW programming. Besides, using LabVIEW for commercial and academic purposes requires a license. Both C and LabVIEW API have the same coverage for all features.

I also, due to my work situation, would require an offline installer for drivers if anyone knows where those may be.

Unfortunately, Linux has many different distros and most company does not release separate offline installers for all distros, hence Linux installers are hosted on an online repo in most cases. You would need an online system with the same OS to create an offline installer. See Offline Installation of NI Linux Device Drivers
