MATLAB: Are National Instruments PCIe-6536 and PCIe-6537 devices supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.10 (R2007a)

Data Acquisition Toolbox

I would like to know if National Instruments PCIe-6536 and PCIe-6537 devices are supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.10 (R2007a).

Best Answer

National Instruments PCIe-6536 and PCIe-6537 devices are not supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.10 (R2007a).
To work around this issue, perform these steps to add support for these devices in R2007a:
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-6536] 
 hasAnalogInput   = false 
 hasAnalogOutput  = false 
 hasDigitalIO     = true 
 digitalPortSize  = 8,8,8,8 
 digitalPortCap   = 4,4,4,4 
 [PCIe-6537] 
 hasAnalogInput   = false 
 hasAnalogOutput  = false 
 hasDigitalIO     = true 
 digitalPortSize  = 8,8,8,8 
 digitalPortCap   = 4,4,4,4
5. Save the file mwnidaqmx.ini and restart MATLAB.
