title: How do I manually configure NI Visa on linux
body: <p>I'm trying to get the National Instruments Visa library (without Labview) working on a Redhat Enterprise Linux 6.7 PC. It comes with some configuration utilities (NIvisaic &amp; visaconf) to find and setup the instruments but after a week of trying we've given up trying to get them to run. I know from windows it's just a configuration text file visaconf.ini but I don't know where to put it or if it's the same file  &amp; format for linux. Bottom line, how do I manually configure NI Visa in Linux ?</p>
