Support for NI-DAQmx drivers did not come out until DAT 2.8.
Your PCI-6071E will run under both Traditional NI-DAQ as
well as NI-DAQmx, but with 8.6 you don't have Traditional.

So you'll need to do one of the following to use that device
with MATLAB:

1. Upgrade to a minimum of MATLAB R14SP3+ and DAT 2.8,
keeping with your NI-DAQ 8.6. This is your best and easiest
option, and you should upgrade directly to the newly
released MATLAB R2008a to enjoy all of the enhancements and
improvements made over the past many years.

2. Install the Traditional NI-DAQ drivers 7.3 or 7.4. I'm
not sure, but I believe you can't just install these older
drivers OVER 8.6 so you'll have to uninstall 8.6 first. Then
install the Traditional version you have, then reinstall
8.6. When done this way Traditional and MX coexist on your PC.

In any event, your current configuration is not supported
for the versions of software you have installed.
