Hi, I have a KVaser USB-CAN device that communicates to an
engine control unit. I am trying to figure out how to read
and write to this device from MATLAB or Simulink.
Has anyone done this? Does the DAQ toolbox support this?

I would appreciate any pointers.
My alternative is to use Labview, and KVaser has written the
'Labview Drivers' for doing this but I'd very much prefer to
code in MATLAB instead if i can only talk to the device.
