PCI 7030-6040E, Win NT SP6a, Matlab R12

[Santiago González]

I have a PCI 7030-6040E installed on WinNT SP6a, and Matalb R12.
I want to perform data aquisition with the Data Aquisition Toolbox.
I execute the comand
daqhwinfo('nidaq')

And the response is this:

AdaptorDllName: 'E:\matlabr12\toolbox\daq\daq\private\mwnidaq.dll'
AdaptorDllVersion: 'Version 2.0 (R12) 05-Oct-2000'
AdaptorName: 'nidaq'
BoardNames: {'unknown'}
InstalledBoardIds: {'1'}
ObjectConstructorName: {'' '' ''}

In the Matlab documentations it looks that under the field ObjectConstructorName should appear more info. The documentation example is with the sound card, and the output is this:

daqhwinfo('winsound')

ans =

AdaptorDllName: 'E:
\matlabr12\toolbox\daq\daq\private\mwwinsound.dll'
AdaptorDllVersion: 'Version 2.0 (R12) 05-Oct-2000'
AdaptorName: 'winsound'
BoardNames: {'CrystalWare(TM) Record'}
InstalledBoardIds: {'0'}
ObjectConstructorName: {'analoginput('winsound',0)' 'analogoutput('winsound',0)'}

Since I have the objectcontructorname i can customize the input or output channel.
I expected that when i wrote "daqhwinfo('nidaq'), the field objectconstructorname were filled with the names of all the channels.

If someone has some experience in Matlab and NI boards pleas help me.

Thanks a lot

First, make sure the PCI-7030/6040E is supported by the Data Acquisition Toolbox (DAT). I think the 6040 is supported, but I don't think the 7030/6040 is. The 7030/6040 is a special board made for LabVIEW RT and the 6040 DAQ daughter board is not accessible outside of that environment. You may need a standard non-RT DAQ board.

However, if it is supported, verify that the board and driver have been installed properly. Refer to http://www.ni.com/support/install/ for installation instructions.

Those two items should resolve the issue.
