Hello,

This thread about equipment reminded me that I still have a completely 
unused National Instruments USB-6211 DAQ here.
The problem is that I never got it to work under Linux Mint due to 
driver problems. Also, I recall that the only way to use it is with NI's 
proprietary software, which is rather costly (> $3000).

Simple question: does anyone know if this product is usable under Linux? 
Or would I do better selling it off? It's been gathering dust for years, 
and that's a waste in itself.

Best regards,

Richard Rasker
