This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2011a (R2011a).

It is not possible to control counters/timers using the Data Acquisition Toolbox in prior product releases. 

As a workaround, you can try using MATLAB's Interface to Generic DLLs to directly access the National Instruments driver. For further information and examples on the Interface to Generic DLLs, please consult the relevant documentation.
