MATLAB: The Data Acquisition Toolbox does not recognize the PCI-DAC6703 board

Data Acquisition Toolboxpci-dac-6703

I'm trying to acquire data from a PCI-DAC6703 board using MATLAB 2010a and Data Acquisition Toolbox version 2.16. Unfortunately, MATLAB does not recognize the board. When running the command daqhwinfo MATLAB just returns 'parallel' and 'winsound' as the installed adapters.

Do I need to install a certain driver to make MATLAB recognize the board?

Best Answer

An old version of InstaCal (5.57) was installed on the computer. I installed the newest version (6.10) and now MATLAB finds the mcc adapter.

MATLAB: Is the National Instruments NI PCI-6703 D/A Board supported for Real-Time Windows Target

This enhancement has been made for Release 14 (R14). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

1. Download the file rtwin_pci670x.zip and place it into a temporary directory.

2. Run MATLAB and change your working directory to that temporary directory.

3. Unpack the update into its destination directory by the command

unzip('rtwin_pci670x.zip', matlabroot).

The boards should now be selectable from the Install New Board menu.
