Why am I unable to start analog data acquisition with the Measurement Computing PCI-DAS4020/12 with InstaCal version 5.44 and the Data Acquisition Toolbox?

2 views (last 30 days)
When I run the following code:
ai = analoginput('mcc',1);
addchannel(ai,0);
start(ai);
I receive the following error:
??? Error using ==> start
MCC: Invalid option specified for this function
Is it possible to use the Measurement Computing PCI-DAS4020/12 board with MATLAB?

This bug has been fixed for Release 14 (R14). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:
This has been verified as a bug in the Data Acqusition Toolbox in the way that it configures the Measurement Computing PCI-DAS4020/12 board. This problem exhibits itself only when InstaCal 5.44 is installed on your system.
Currently, to work around this issue, please download and install InstaCal 5.43 or prior. You will then be able to use the Data Acqusition Toolbox with this card.
