The Strategic Test Digitizer, Arbitrary Waveform Generator and high-speed Digital cards also come with drivers for many different flavors of Linux ;-) These include:

Drivers
use 9.0 2.4.21 32 bit	Redhat 9.0 2.4.20 32 bit
Suse 9.1 2.6.4 32 bit	Fedora Core 3 2.6.9 32 bit
Suse 9.3 2.6.11 32 bit	Fedora Core 4 2.6.11 32 bit
Suse 10.0 2.6.13 32 bit and 64 bit	Fedora Core 5 2.6.15 32 bit and 64 bit
Suse 10.1 2.6.16 32 bit and 64 bit	Fedora Core 6 2.6.18 32 bit and 64 bit
Suse 10.2 2.6.18 32 bit and 64 bit
Debian Sarge 2.4.27 32 bit	Debian Sarge 2.6.8 32 bit

In addition to the above, we are able to supply the driver source code on receipt of our signed NDA. This is something to consider if you are looking at other vendors equipment. Since kernel 2.6 it is increasingly common that sources need to be supplied and compiled on the host PC, particularly if the distribution has been modified for multi-processor support, etc.

Like the Windows drivers, all of the features of the instrument cards can be accessed through the drivers.
