Test panels for DAQmx in Linux

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-DAQmx
Primary Software Version: 7.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: Driver Software>>NI-DAQmx

Problem:
I want to use test panels to see if my DAQmx device is working on my Linux machine.  On Windows, I normally use Measurement & Automation Explorer to run test panels.  Where do I find the DAQmx test panels in Linux?

Solution:
You can find test panels at /usr/local/natinst/nidaqmx/bin/support/.  You can also access test panels by running DAQmxTestPanels --devid=<device identifier> from the command line.  For instance, if you are running the test panels on your first device, you might use DAQmxTestPanels --devid=Dev1.  See the screenshot below.
