NI DAQ no working in simulink

Dear all,

I want to setup matlab with NI-DAQ in order to record some signals.

I have installed matlab R2017b, NI-DAQmx 17.6.0 and the hardware support for matlab (all run as administrator).

The system runs windows 7 64bit (with all updates).

When I open the simulink example file "demodaqsl_ai_spectrum.slx" and double click the analoque input block i get the following message "no data acquisition devices are available".

I get the same message from any block from the data acquisition toolbox.

When I enter the command daq.getDevices, I get "ans = No data acquisition devices available. "

When I enter the command daq.getVendors, I get

"ans = 
Data acquisition vendor 'National Instruments':
            ID: 'ni'
      FullName: 'National Instruments'
AdaptorVersion: '3.12 (R2017b)'
 DriverVersion: '17.6.0 NI-DAQmx'
 IsOperational: true
"

Since I am new to all this, do you have any advice on what to do so that simulink identifies the DAQ devices?

It seems that something in not configured in a correct way.

Thanks in advance

which NI hardware device did you install, and how did you connect it?

I do not have the DAQ device connected to the computer. I remember it is a usb device that will be connected with BNC-2110. From what I understand it must be samething in the configuration-installation since i can not even open the DAQ block from simulink. I can have the exact device code that i will use in 3 days time, if it is necessary.

Thanks.

I suspect you will not be able to use those blocks without the device installed.

Dear Sir,

I thought that the NI-DAQmx 17.6.0 was the only device drivers I needed. Is this correct? or do i need to download and install something more? If yes could you direct me to a link?

[Walter Roberson]

The software appears to be attempting to look for the hardware. You have the drivers installed but not the hardware.

So how do you install the hardware?

Install Matlab 2018

Install Daqmx from ni

install data acquisition toolbox in matlab...

doesn't help with simulink :-P
