Hello;
The 6100 is not the best solution for Data Acquisition applications. You can definitely use the 2110, however, you need to have a DAQ device to work together with it; such as the PCI-6031E.
Also, I heard MathWorks has a DAQ toolkit that makes Matlab to talk with National Instruments DAQ devices.
Hope this helps.
