This bug has been fixed for Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.6 (R14SP1). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:
For releases of the Data Acquisition Toolbox prior to Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.5 (R14), please note that Advantech hardware support is not available. In order to obtain support for Advantech hardware, you must upgrade your version of the Data Acquisition Toolbox.
For Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.5 (R14), this is a bug in the initialization file in the way that hardware information for the Advantech PCI-1711L card has been omitted.
To work around this issue, try the following:
1. Quit MATLAB
2. Find the mwadvantech.ini file. It should be in $MATLAB\toolbox\daq\daq\private, where $MATLAB is the location you installed MATLAB to.
3. Back up the mwadvantech.ini file
4. Open the mwadvantech.ini file in a text editor, and find the section that starts "[PCI-1711]". It should be around line 114.
5. Insert the following BETWEEN the [PCI-1711] and [PCI-1712] sections:
[PCI-1711L]
AIFifo=1024
AIMaxSR=100e3
AIMinSR=1
AIDiffMult=1
AIInterruptMode=3
AIHwTrigger=0
DIOConfigWidth=0
DIOInputWidth=16
DIOOutputWidth=16
DIOPorts=4
SWInputType=1
6. Save the INI file and close the text editor.
7. Restart MATLAB.
It should now work.
