Data Acquisition Toolbox Release Notes

Upgrading from an Earlier Release

This section describes the upgrade issues involved in moving from the Data Acquisition Toolbox 1.0.1 to the Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.0.

Vendor Drivers

If you are not using the latest drivers for your hardware, and you experience problems with the toolbox, then you should upgrade your drivers:

• For National Instruments hardware, you should use NI-DAQ 6.7.0 (http://www.ni.com/nidaq). Note that you should be able to use NI-DAQ 6.8, although the toolbox has not been fully tested against this driver version.
• For Agilent Technologies hardware, you should use VXI Plug and Play Drivers version A.06.04 (http://www.tm.agilent.com).

Removed and Obsolete Functions

The nidaq, winsound, and hpe1432 functions have been removed. The information contained in these M-files is included in these Release Notes.

The obj2code function has been renamed to obj2mfile. obj2code will still work but it now produces a warning.

Two daqhwinfo Fields Removed

The ConversionExtraScaling and ConversionOffset fields of the daqhwinfo function have been removed. You can use the NativeScaling and NativeOffset properties to convert native data to doubles.
