NI PCI-6115 hardware support in matlab

hi all, i am doing a project in which i want to acquire a signal with a sampling frequency of 10MHZ. to acquire the data with such a high sampling frequency i had chosen NI-PCI6115 module to capture the data i want to use this module with MAtlab. i want to know which version of matlab will support this module. in the link mentioned below it is said that matlab will support this module but i am using 2010b but i couldnt find the that this module is supported and i had seen all the other modules are supported by Matlab except "PCI-61xx" series.

any kind of suggestions are accepted please help me in this problem. thanks in advance

The web page you mention indicates that this particular board has been supported by the Data Acquisition Toolbox since R14SP3, so R2010b should be no problem at all. Do you have the Data Acquisition Toolbox? Also, it requires the drivers from NI-DAQmx, have you installed those? What output do you get when you use the daqhwinfo function? Does the board get detected?

HTH,

thanks for your reply, i have data Acquisition toolbox, and i had installed the NI-DAQmx driver in the system. do we need to do any thing to add the driver in the matlab, the output when i used daqhwinfo is as shown below

ToolboxName: 'Data Acquisition Toolbox'

ToolboxVersion: '2.17 (R2010b)'

MATLABVersion: '7.11 (R2010b)'

InstalledAdaptors: {'winsound'}

to see the supported NI hardware i used to do the following steps.

open (simulink)----> in libraries (real time windows target)--->new model and select analog input, drag the analog input block to the new model and double click on the analog input block.

click on the option install new board in the data acquisition board.

in that in national instruments it will give all the modules that it will support. i couldnt find the module PCI-6115 in that list

thanks for helping me..

It looks like the board isn't detected by the data acquisition toolbox. You may want to try registering the hardware driver adaptor as described in:

The other thing that may help is the NI hardware troubleshooting page:

It neither of these work, you'll probably need to contact technical support:

You mention Real-Time Windows Target. That's a completely different product with different hardware support. Which one do you want to use? Data Acquisition Toolbox or Real-Time Windows Target?

i want to use data Acquisition toolbox. i will try the suggestions provided by you. thanks for you reply and patience.

dear Miege

i had tried the suggestions given by you, but still i am facing the same problem. my software is not detecting the NI hardware. if you had any other possible solutions with you please let me know. thanks for help.

Your best bet is to contact technical support (see link provided in my previous comment)
