fc10 and DAQmx801f0.iso

[woleda]

Hi,

I'v tested NIKAL-1.9 and DAQmx801f0.iso on fc10. Drivers and example code compile. Drivers get loaded nicely, but ...

nilsdev reports NOTHING. Has anyone else success with these components? Any comments much appreciated!

Best Regards

You also have the Comedi drivers installed and they are binding to the device.  You can only have one driver bind to a device at a time so NI-DAQmx will not find the device.

Shawn,

Thanks a bunch! I'm sure this will save some time for other forum members as well. Now I can report on success using  fedora 10 with NIKAL-1.9 and DAQmx801f0.iso without any patches (or fuss)

kernel  2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 #1 SMP
