Data Acquisition Toolbox Major Bug Fixes

Advantech data acquisition cards now supported

The Data Acquisition Toolbox now supports boards from Advantech. Visit http://www.mathworks.com/products/daq/supportedio5186.jsp for current information on models supported.

ManualTriggerHwOn set to 'trigger' may drop some data

A problem with analog input data being lost when ManualTriggerHwOn is set to 'trigger' has been fixed.

Measurement Computing minilab 1008 now supported

The Measurement Computing minilab 1008 USB device is now fully supported.

Measurement Computing PCI-6052 now supported

The Measurement Computing PCI-6052 device is now fully supported.

Measurement Computing PCI-DAS6071 device supported

The Measurement Computing PCI-DAS6071 device is now fully supported.

Measurement Computing PMD1208LS now fully supported

The Measurement Computing PMD1208LS USB device is now fully supported, including burst transfer mode.

Measurement Computing: Burst transfer mode supported on some products

Some Measurement Computing products support a burst transfer mode, allowing data acquisition at higher speed, most notably on the PMD- 1208LS. The Data Acquisition Toolbox now automatically selects this burst transfer mode when appropriate. You may force this mode by setting the "TransferMode" property to "InterruptPerScan".

Measurement Computing: Some boards no longer support a ChannelSkewMode of "Minimum"

In previous versions of the Data Acquisition Toolbox, some of the Measurement Computing boards were incorrectly configured to allow a ChannelSkewMode value of 'Minimum'. These boards did not support this mode, and sometimes errors would occur. Therefore, it is no longer valid to set the ChannelSkewMode to 'Minimum' for the following Measurement Computing devices: DAS16/16-AO, DAS16/16, DAS16/12-AO, and DAS16/12.

National Instruments Cards: Odd numbers of channels cause acquisition to fail

Memory buffers are now correctly allocated for low speed acquisitions on National Instruments hardware, where the number of channels is not an even divisor of 4096, e.g., 3.

National Instruments NI-DAQ 7.1 drivers supported

The National Instruments NI-DAQ 7.1 "traditional" drivers are now supported via the Data Acquisition Toolbox.

National Instruments PCI-6013 and PCI-6014 now supported

The National Instruments PCI-6013 and PCI-6014 devices are now fully supported.

National Instruments: Added support for rising edge hardware triggers

The 'TriggerCondition' property may be set to 'rising' to allow acquisition triggering on the rising edge of the trigger signal. As of release 2.5, the 'falling' TriggerCondition is not supported.

National Instruments: Support improved for high acquisition speeds (>1 MS/sec)

The number of sample rates avaliable for analog input and output on high speed National Instruments cards has been increased.

National Instruments: Waveform truncation on low speed, internally clocked analog output with some cards

On some National Instruments cards, analog output waveforms were being truncated at low sample rates (10 KS/sec or less) when an internal clock was used. This has been addressed.
