According to this link: <a href="http://www.ni.com/dataacquisition/companion_software.htm" target="_blank">http://www.ni.com/dataacquisition/companion_software.htm</a> and this link: <a href="http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/14480" target="_blank">http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/14480</a> NI-DAQmx Base offers a subset of NI-DAQmx functionality. From those links it appears that NI-DAQmx is superior to NI-DAQmx Base. While this is true for Windows what about in regards to the Linux operating system. It appears that DAQmx for Linux has not been updated since 2005 where NIDAQmx Base is continuing to be updated for Linux. What are the differences between the latest DAQmx for Linux version 8.0 and DAQmx Base for Linux version 3.2. We are leaning toward openSUSE 10.3. Is NI working towards releasing an equivalent to DAQmx 8.7.1 for Linux anytime in the future. Given the last update for Linux DAQmx 2005 I suspect not. Is DAQmx Base ver 3.2 for Linux superior to DAQmx 8.0 for Linux?
Would prefer to use a Debian based system but that is another story.......
