Data Acquisition Toolbox

National Instruments Hardware

If you are having trouble using the Data Acquisition Toolbox with a supported National Instruments board, the reason might be that

• You are using a hardware driver that is incompatible with the toolbox.
• Your hardware is not functioning properly.

What Driver Are You Using?

The Data Acquisition Toolbox is compatible only with specific versions of the NI-DAQ driver, and is not guaranteed to work with any other versions. For a list of the NI-DAQ 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 National Instruments Web site at http://www.natinst.com/ for the latest NI-DAQ drivers.

You can find out which version of NI-DAQ you are using with National Instruments' Measurement & Automation Explorer. You should be able to access this program through the Windows Desktop. The driver version is available through the Help menu.

For example, the version of NI-DAQ used by a PCI-6024E board is shown below.
