Performing an NI Spy Capture in LinuxHardware: PXI/CompactPCI>>Controllers
Problem: I am having trouble communicating with instruments in Linux and would like to perform an NI Spy capture for debugging/troubleshooting purposes. How do perform an NI Spy capture in Linux? Solution: NI Spy is a tool for monitoring instrument I/O communications while your application runs. You can use NI Spy to capture instrument I/O calls and their results while LabVIEW VIs run. Capturing calls and their results can help you debug problems with instrument communications. NI Spy was not supported in Linux until the release of NI-488.2 Version 2.3 for Linux. The most current version of NI-488.2 for Linux is Version 2.5. To launch NI Spy in Linux, type nispy in the command line. The graphical interface for NI Spy in Linux is the same as that in the Windows environment. Refer to KnowledgeBase 386GTEV4 (Performing a Good NI-Spy Capture for Debugging/Troubleshooting) for information on how an NI Spy capture is performed in Windows. The main difference in the Linux environment is the default log file path in the NI Spy Options. The default path in Linux is /usr/local/natinst/nispy/Capture.spy.
