I have one USB DAQ board, and I'm controlling it with with Matlab, Data Acquisition Toolbox. It generates a TTL pulse when I add a line to digital output. When addline() function is executed, it generates a pulse of 100-200ms duration even if I don't tell it to send a pulse. I need to replace the board, and USB 6210 looks to be suitable for my project, but I need to know if I will run into the same TTL signal issue.
If anyone has a USB-6210 and used it for digital output, can you tell me if the board has that TTL signal issue.
Thanks

Hi azotov,
What DAQ device are you using currently? I believe you mentioned that you will be wanting to replace it with a USB-6210. You could try to setup a task in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and see if the device still behaves improperly. If your device is behaving properly in MAX, then the issue is likely to be with the Toolbox. For more information on using MAX please refer to the following website: Using Test Panels in Measurement & Automation Explorer for Devices Supported by NI-DAQmx. The MATLAB Data Acquisition Toolbox is actually developed and maintained by The MathWorks Inc. Here is a website you can go to.
As for your second question, the USB 6210 is supported with the toolbox since version 2.10, and you can find the information here. The USB 6210 does not have any issues with LabVIEW or other National Instruments product. However, since I do not have MATLAB, I really can't say how it will work.
