New Linux Drivers for Digitizer, AWG and Fast Digital PCI, PXI and CompactPCI Cards
Thursday, 27 July 2006 Woburn, MA USA (PRWEB) July 26, 2006 -- Strategic Test Corp has announced the release of new Linux drivers for kernel 2.6 versions of RedHat, SuSe and Fedora distributions. The kernel 2.4 drivers have also been updated. Linux kernel 2.6 gives increased stability and near to real-time operating system performance, useful for measurement and signal generation applications.
A single driver supports all of the products and in line with the company's policy on free of charge lifetime software updates it can be downloaded from its company website support area (www.strategic-test.com/support).
The driver source code is also available on request. This is important since the transition from 2.4 to 2.6 kernels, as increasingly the user needs to recompile the driver on their host PC, particularly if they have modified the distribution for multi-processor operation. It can also be used to port the driver to other Linux distributions such as Scientific Linux and operating systems including VxWorks.
The same simple programming concept found in the other Windows and Linux drivers has been employed, allowing customers to upgrade their OS without modifying their application code.
