NI-DAQmx Support

The Data Acquisition Toolbox software supports National Instruments hardware that uses the NI-DAQmx software interface.

The adaptor name in the Data Acquisition Toolbox software is nidaq, which can be used in all syntax requiring the adaptor name.

To display your installed hardware that can be accessed using the NI-DAQmx adaptor, type

daqhwinfo('nidaq')

daqhwinfo returns information about the hardware that is installed, and the IDs that the National Instruments Measurement & Automation Explorer has assigned to these devices. Typically, these IDs start with the letters Dev followed by a number.

The toolbox supports both Traditional NI-DAQ and NI-DAQmx. For information about choosing which driver to use, see National Instruments Hardware in Troubleshooting Your Hardware of the Data Acquisition Toolbox User's Guide.
