I would like to know if the National Instruments USB-6525 device is supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.12 (R2008a).

This enhancement has been incorporated in Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.15 (R2009b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
National Instruments USB-6525 is not supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.12 (R2008a).
To work around this issue, perform these steps to add support for this device in R2008a:
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:
 [USB-6525] 
 hasAnalogInput   = false 
 hasAnalogOutput  = false 
 hasDigitalIO     = true 
 digitalPortSize  = 8,8 
 digitalPortCap   = 2,1
5. Save the file mwnidaqmx.ini and restart MATLAB.
