ni-daqmx tools matlab 2009b

[ben arthur]

after installing ni-daqmx tools (version 1?), matlab 2008b says:

>> DAQ_Demo_Browser
Warning: Calling MEX-file 'C:\Program
Files\Matlab\R2008b\toolbox\natinst\daq\DAQ_Demo_Browser.dll'.
MEX-files with .dll extensions will not execute in a future version of MATLAB.

it otherwise works fine.

question:  will ni-daqmx tools ever be updated for future versions of matlab?  i'd like to use it with 2009b on a windows 7 64-bit machine.  it currently does not work there, presumably because of the above warning.  any work-arounds?

thanks,

ben

Hi Ben,

You should be able to use the NI-DAQmx Toolkits with any device supported by the NI-DAQmx driver. Since DAQmx 9.0.2, National Instruments has had support for Windows 7 64-bit. Please refer to this KnowledgeBase.

You may try updating your NI-DAQmx Tools and NI-DAQmx driver.

I can confirm the problem mentioned by the original post.  I followed the instructions on the KnowledgeBase you refer to and nothing happens.  The issue is not the OS, but rather NI-DAQmx Tools appears to require features that have been phased out of Matlab for the last two-three years.

The DAQmx Tools are not currently being maintained.  I think instead you should probably look toward the Data Acquisition Toolbox if you are looking for integrating your data acquisition with MATLAB.  This toolbox is developed and maintained by MathWorks.

Best Regards,
