MATLAB: Is the MCC USB-DIO24/37 supported by the Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.5 (R14)

computingData Acquisition Toolboxdiomeasurementmwmccpmdusb

I would like to use the MCC USB-DIO24/37 board with the Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.5 (R14). According to the webpage on supported hardware, this board is not listed, however, it is very similar to the PMD/USB-1024LS board, which is supported. I would like to know if there is still a way to use this MCC board with the toolbox.

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2006b (R2006b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
Although this board is not officially supported, you can perform the following steps in order to use it with the Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.5 (R14):
1. Make a backup copy of the following file:
$MATLAB/toolbox/daq/daq/private/mwmcc.ini
(where $MATLAB = MATLABs root directory on your machine)
You can call it mwmcc.ini.old or whatever you wish.
2) Use a text editor to add the following lines to the bottom of the original mwmcc.ini file:
[USB-DIO24/37]
ID = 0x93
Bus = USB
DIOConfigurable = 1
DPORTS = 4
DPORT0LINES = 8
DPORT0TYPE = 10
DPORT0CONFIG = 2
DPORT1LINES = 8
DPORT1TYPE = 11
DPORT1CONFIG = 2
DPORT2LINES = 4
DPORT2TYPE = 12
DPORT2CONFIG = 2
DPORT3LINES = 4
DPORT3TYPE = 13
DPORT3CONFIG = 2
3) Restart MATLAB
