daqmxconfig for 32-bit RedHawk

[Gordon McPherson]

Good afternoon -

I am VERY NEW to using NI products on an Linux environment. Therefore, if this question sounds like a "newbie" question, it is:

I am running RedHawk 32-bit OS on a PXI chassis. Installed within this chassis are the following cards:

1.) NI 6562 Digitial I/O card

2.) NI 7813 Programmable I/O card

When I run daqmxconfig, all the output I'm seeing in my export file is the following:

[DAQmx]

MajorVersion = 8

MinorVersion = 0

I thought I would see at least two DAQmx device description entries, one for the 6562 card and another for the 7813 card.

Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gordon,

The NI 6562 requires the NI-HSDIO driver and the NI 7813R requires the NI-RIO driver. As both of these drivers are not supported on Linux, the OS does not recognize these modules. 

The system requirements for the NI-HSDIO and NI-RIO drivers are mentioned in these pages:

I hope this answers your question.
