NI modular instruments are compact, high-performance measurement hardware devices with integrated timing and synchronization resources. Modular instrument hardware uses the latest commercial technologies, including ADCs, DACs, FPGAs, and PC buses, to provide high resolution and throughput for measurements. In combination with powerful software, such as National Instruments LabVIEW 8 for Linux, you can create custom-defined measurements and sophisticated analysis routines.
National Instruments offers driver software for developing applications with both PXI- and PCI-based modular instruments in Linux. To see how easy it is to install modular instrument hardware and software in Linux, read Getting Started with Modular Instruments for Linux.
