What is the INI information needed to use the Measurement Computing PCI-DAS6036 with the Data Acquisition Toolbox?

Best Answer

This bug has been fixed for Release 14 (R14). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:

To use the PCI-DAS6036 board:

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:

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

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

MATLAB: How to use the National Instruments PCI-6255 and PXI-6255 M series devices with Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.8.1 (R2006a)

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2007b (R2007b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

The National Instruments PCI-6255 and PXI-6255 M series devices are not supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.8.1 (R2006a).

To work around this issue, perform these steps to add support for these devices:

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:

 [PCI-6255] 
 hasAnalogInput   = true 
 numAIChannels    = 80 
 hasAnalogOutput  = true 
 numAOChannels    = 2 
 maxAOSampleRate  = 2860000,2000000 
 hasDigitalIO     = true 
 digitalPortSize  = 8,8,8 
 digitalPortCap   = 4,4,4 
 [PXI-6255] 
 hasAnalogInput   = true 
 numAIChannels    = 80 
 hasAnalogOutput  = true 
 numAOChannels    = 2 
 maxAOSampleRate  = 2860000,2000000 
 hasDigitalIO     = true 
 digitalPortSize  = 8,8,8 
 digitalPortCap   = 4,4,4

5. Save the file mwnidaqmx.ini and restart MATLAB.
