MATLAB: How to use Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.6 (R14SP2) with the Measurement Computing PCIM-DAS16JR/16 device

.datdaqData Acquisition Toolbox

I would like to use the Measurement Computing PCIM-DAS16JR/16 with the Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.6 (R14SP2). It is not listed on the supported hardware page at
http://www.mathworks.com/products/supportedio.html?prodCode=DA

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2006a (R2006a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
The ability to support the Measurement Computing PCIM-DAS16JR/16 is not available in Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.6 (R14SP2).
To work around this issue use the following steps:
1. Copy the following file:
$MATLAB/toolbox/daq/daq/private/mwmcc.ini
(where $MATLAB is the MATLAB root directory on your machine, as returned by typing matlabroot at the MATLAB command prompt.)
to $MATLAB/toolbox/daq/daq/private/mwmcc.ini.old
2) Use a text editor to add the following lines to the bottom of the original mwmcc.ini file:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
   [PCIM-DAS16JR/16] 
   ID = 0x7B 
   Bus = PCM 
   AIResolution = 16 
   AIClockingType = 2 
   AIMaxSR = 100000 
   AIMinSR = 1 
   AIBurstMode = 0 
   SettleTime = 10.000 
   Scanning = 1 
   AnalogTrig = 0 
   DigitalTrig = 1 
   ChanGainQueue = 0 
   AIFIFO = 512 
   InputRanges = 1,0,2,3,100,101,102,104 
   AOResolution = 12 
   AOMaxSR = 10000 
   AOScanning = 1 
   AOClockingType = 0 
   DIOConfigurable = 0 
   DPORTS = 2 
   DPORT0LINES = 4 
   DPORT0TYPE = 1 
   DPORT0CONFIG = 0 
   DPORT1LINES = 4 
   DPORT1TYPE = 1 
   DPORT1CONFIG = 1
3) Restart MATLAB.
