I've written console code under Windoz 11 to acquire 8-bit parallel data using the NIDAQmxBase (2025-Q1) installation driving NI USB-6009 & 6501 pods. Works fine. However, I don't need/want LabView, LabWindows or any GUI support. I just want the absolute minimum development environment required to compile/distribute console apps using the aforementioned NI devices. What can I remove/delete from my NIDAQmxBase installation and keep that capability? Would Linux be a better solution to do this? Thank you.
