How can I use Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.6 (R14SP2) with the Measurement Computing USB-DIO96H device?

I would like to use the Measurement Computing USB-DIO96H with the Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.6 (R14SP2). It is not listed on the supported hardware page at

https://www.mathworks.com/products/instrument.html

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2006a (R2006a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

The ability to support the Measurement Computing USB-DIO96H is not available

in Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.6 (R14SP2).

To work around this issue use the following steps:

1. Copy the following file:

$MATLAB/toolbox/daq/daq/private/mwmcc.ini

(where $MATLAB is the MATLAB root directory on your machine, as returned by typing matlabroot at the MATLAB command prompt.)

to $MATLAB/toolbox/daq/daq/private/mwmcc.ini.old

2. Use a text editor to add the following lines to the bottom of the original mwmcc.ini file:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
