The Data Acquisition Toolbox is compatible only with specific versions of the the Universal Library drivers or the associated release of the InstaCal software, and is not guaranteed to work with any other versions. For a list of the driver versions that are compatible with the Data Acquisition Toolbox, refer to the product page on the MathWorks Web site at http://www.mathworks.com/products/daq/.

If you think your driver is incompatible with the Data Acquisition Toolbox, then you should verify that your hardware is functioning properly before updating drivers. If your hardware is functioning properly, then you are probably using unsupported drivers. Visit the Measurement Computing Web site at http://www.measurementcomputing.com/ for the latest drivers.
