Why does DAQRESET not reset my data acquisition hardware when run from MATLAB in Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.11 (R2007b)?

I am using a National Instruments PCI- 6711 board. I want to reset my device from MATLAB. If I run DAQRESET, it still does not reset my hardware. The documentation for DAQRESET does state: "When the MATLAB workspace returns to this state, the data acquisition hardware is reset".

However, I can reset my device from NI Measurement and Automation Explorer.

This change has been incorporated into the documentation in Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.15 (R2009b). For previous releases, read below for any additional information:

The ability to reset a data acquisition device from MATLAB is not available in Data Acquisition Toolbox.

DAQRESET does not reset the data acquisition hardware. It resets the DAQ Engine ; i.e., it removes all device objects existing in the engine, and unloads all data acquisition modules loaded by the engine (including the adaptor DLLs and the engine MEX-file).
