Device Table

Notes 

1. PCI, PXI, PCIe and PXIe - Devices listed by NI [Family Number] are available in both PCI and PXI Bus architectures. Devices listed with NI PXI- or NI PCI- before the number are available in that specific Bus architecture only. For Example, the Counter/Timers listing for the NI PCI-6601, NI 6602, NI 6608 indicates the NI 6601 is only available for the PCI Bus but the NI 6602 and NI 6608 are available for both the PCI and PXI Bus architectures.  PXIe and PCIe devices are always listed separately.

2. NI-DAQ 6.9.3 or Earlier requires NT Service Pack 4 or greater. NI-DAQ 7.x (Traditional and mx) requires NT Service Pack 6 or greater.

3. For information on supported Linux distributions, visit /linux/support.htm#1 or see the driver readme file.

4. The host system must also support the version of NI-DAQ listed. NI-DAQmx for LabVIEW RT is only supported on Pharlap RT Systems with LabVIEW RT installed.

OS X support for USB-6216
Is there a reason the 6216 isn't supported on OS X?

USB-9211 Drivers for Windows
It would be a real assett if the DRIVERS for Windows were NOT buried in the bowels of the programs. Sometimes a legacy device running on an older system needs the drivers re-installed, like after a Hard Drive crash, and the original install disks are missing. You want this so as NOT to crash any custom software due to the latest and greatest "features" added to the newest programs being touted. Just the USB driver for the device!

linux drivers for 6251 and 6015
Would be good to have linux drivers. We have several 6015 and 6251 digitisers which we throw away if we can't get linux drivers.

6212 and 6216 under Base
Any good reason for excluding DAQmxBase support for these 2 621X devices...??? Or more importantly, for not providing full DAQmx on the Mac...?!

driver availability?
It _would_ be nice if NI had OSX drivers and support for their USB-6251 and USB-6259 devices...
