Data Acquisition Toolbox™ 2.12
Supported Hardware
MATLAB is an ideal data acquisition software environment. MATLAB supports data acquisition through the Data Acquisition Toolbox and provides support for multiple hardware manufacturers. This support provides you the flexibility to mix hardware from multiple manufacturers when creating MATLAB applications, or switch data acquisition hardware in the future while continuing to use MATLAB as your software environment.
Data Acquisition Toolbox also supports Simulink with blocks that enable you to incorporate live data or hardware configuration directly into Simulink models. You can verify and validate your model against live, measured data as part of Model-Based Design.

The Data Acquisition Toolbox supports sound acquisition and sound generation using Microsoft Windows compatible sound cards. The Data Acquisition Toolbox also supports the standard PC parallel port.
Other MathWorks products provide additional options for communicating with external hardware devices from within MATLAB. MATLAB supports instruments and hardware that use GPIB (IEEE-488, HPIB), VISA, TCP/IP, UDP, and serial standards through the Instrument Control Toolbox. For real-time closed-loop control applications, The MathWorks offers products based on Simulink, such as xPC Target and Real-Time Windows Target.
