I would like to know if parallel adaptors are supported by the Data Acquisition Toolbox.

Best Answer

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2010a (R2010a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
Beginning with Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.13 (R2008b), you will receive the following warning when using the Parallel adaptor provided by the Toolbox:
Warning: This Parallel adaptor ('parallel') will not be provided in future releases of Data Acquisition Toolbox. Instead, it will be available as a separate download. See Solution 1-5LI9OA for details.
This warning has no immediate impact but is intended to advise you for future planning. Once this adaptor is available on MATLAB Central, MathWorks will not be making updates to the adaptor. The source code for the adaptor will be provided as part of the MATLAB Central download.
You may disable this warning by typing:
warning('off', 'daq:<objecttype>:adaptorobsolete');
where 'objecttype' is one of:
analoginput
analogoutput
digitalio
For example:
warning('off', 'daq:analoginput:adaptorobsolete');
(Note: This is applicable only to Windows XP 32-bit)
