Data Acquisition Toolbox

M-File Functions

To perform any task with your data acquisition application, you must call M-file functions from the MATLAB environment. Among other things, these functions allow you to

• Create device objects, which provide a gateway to your hardware's capabilities and allow you to control the behavior of your application.
• Acquire or output data.
• Configure property values.
• Evaluate your acquisition status and hardware resources.
