Why do I have problems starting my Advantech PCI-1711/PCI-1712 using the Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.5 (R14)?

When I try the following code:

ai = analoginput('advantech',0);                                           

addchannel(ai,0:15);                                                       

start(ai);                                                                 

waittilstop(ai,100);                                                       

data = getdata(ai);                                                        

start(ai);

I get the error:

 ===> Get message  " DIO port configuration failed."

This is not a bug in MATLAB but it appears to be an issue with the Advantech drivers. To workaround this issue, use version 2.2 (or later) of the Advantech drivers.
