MATLAB: Are National Instruments PCIe-6535, PXIe-6535, PXIe-6536 and PXIe-6537 devices supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.13 (R2008b)

Data Acquisition Toolbox

I would like to know if National Instruments PCIe-6535, PXIe-6535, PXIe-6536 and PXIe-6537 devices supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.13 (R2008b).

Best Answer

This enhancement has been incorporated in Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.15 (R2009b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
Perform the following steps to add support for these devices in MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b):
1. Quit MATLAB.
2. Find the following file:
$MATLABROOT\toolbox\daq\daq\private\mwnidaqmx.ini
(where $MATLABROOT is the MATLAB root installation directory obtained by issuing:
matlabroot
at the MATLAB Command Prompt.)
3. Make a copy of this file and rename it to mwnidaqmx.ini.old.
4. Open the file mwnidaqmx.ini in a text editor, and add the following lines at the end of the file:
[PCIe-6535]
hasAnalogInput = false
hasAnalogOutput = false
hasDigitalIO = true
digitalPortSize = 8,8,8,8,6
digitalPortCap = 4,4,4,4,4
[PXIe-6535]
hasAnalogInput = false
hasAnalogOutput = false
hasDigitalIO = true
digitalPortSize = 8,8,8,8,6
digitalPortCap = 4,4,4,4,4
[PXIe-6536]
hasAnalogInput = false
hasAnalogOutput = false
hasDigitalIO = true
digitalPortSize = 8,8,8,8,6
digitalPortCap = 4,4,4,4,4
[PXIe-6537]
hasAnalogInput = false
hasAnalogOutput = false
hasDigitalIO = true
digitalPortSize = 8,8,8,8,6
digitalPortCap = 4,4,4,4,4
5. Save the file mwnidaqmx.ini and restart MATLAB.
