MATLAB: How to use the Measurement Computing Corporation USB-1616HS series devices with the Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.11 (R2007b)

Data Acquisition Toolbox

I would like to use the following Measurement Computing Corporation USB-1616HS series devices with the Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.11 (R2007b):
USB-1616HS
USB-1616HS-2
USB-1616HS-4

Best Answer

Support for Measurement Computing Corporation USB-1616HS series devices has been incorporated in MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a). For previous product releases, please perform the steps given below to add support for these devices:
1. Quit MATLAB.
2. Find the following file:
$MATLABROOT\toolbox\daq\daq\private\mwmcc.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 mwmcc.ini.old.
4. Open the file mwmcc.ini in a text editor, and add the following lines at the end of the file:
