Interface with NiDAQ (Ni 9217) without a Windows Laptop

[sage.wagner3]

I am trying to use an Ni 9217 data acquisition device to read data from several RTD sensors and store that data on a data logger suited for long term field operation like a raspberry pie or beaglebone, NOT a Windows laptop. Is there a way to read and record the signal that the DAQ is reading from the RTD sensors and collect that data without using LabView (which requires a computer) or the NiDAQMX python library (that only works on Windows OS)?

There are two recommendations:

1. Use a standalone NI controller like cDAQ-913x or cRIO-904x/905x. They are designed for long term monitoring in the field. You can Cross-Compiling ANSI C NI-DAQmx Examples for Linux RT Using Microsoft Visual Studio Code

2. NI-DAQmx is also supported on certain Linux Desktop. You can Install Ubuntu on a Raspberry Pi

and install NI-DAQmx for Linux. Similarly, you can Using NI-DAQmx in Text Based Programming Environments on Ubuntu.
