Hi,

We have had reports of Data Acquisition Toolbox users successfully using 
boot camp to use USB based devices from a Intel Mac running Windows. 
Really, it's more dependant on wether the hardware works.  Try running the 
vendors test tool in the set up, and see if you can acquire at all.  If you 
can, I think you've got a reasonable chance.

I'd be very interested in your experience.  Please post all the set up 
details when you try it.

-Rob

You can use Data Acquisition Toolbox, Instrument Control Toolbox, Image 
Acquisition Toolbox, and OPC Toolbox to connect your hardware directly to 
the analytical power of MATLAB and Simulink. See
