I am trying to get Matlab to recognize my DAQ board and am having issues?

Hi,

What board?  What version of MATLAB?  What version of NIDAQ?

All the best,

Hi,

NI-DAQmx support was added as a web download for Data Acquisition Toolbox in R14SP3/MATLAB 7.1, and part of the R2006a release.  If you are using MATLAB and Data Acquisition Toolbox from before then, you'll need to make sure you have Traditional NI-DAQ drivers installed.  You didn't mention what version of NI-DAQ you're using.

Rob,

Thanks for the info. I did manage to get it recognized by downloading the legacy version of the driver vs. the newer 8.5 one.

Hello,

I am having some issues to get my DAQ board recognized by MatLab too..

My Matlab´s version is 7.2.0.232 (R2006a) and I am using the USB-6251 equipment - AdaptorDllVersion: '2.8.1 (R2006a)'.

This is the error I get:

>> ai=analoginput('nidaq','Dev1')
??? Error using ==> analoginput.analoginput
Error using ==> analoginput.analoginput>localCreateAnalogInputObject
This device is not recognized by the toolbox.   However, many times, support
for new hardware can be added.   Visit The Mathworks web site and search on the
name of your device for more information.

Thank you in advance,

Marina

Support for those devices wasn't added until R2006b.  See
http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/data/1-2V99NR.html?product=DA&solution=1-2V99NR
for how to add support for it in R2006a.
