NI DAQ USB 6351 problem on win64 platform

Hi,

I'm trying to acquire data with a NI DAQ USB-6351 card. Executing

ai=analoginput('nidaq','Dev1')

returns an error (since the Legacy interface is not supported in win64?) Can I use the Session-based interface? Running

daq.getDevices

finds no supported devices (it's not a cDAQ, obviously). The USB-6351 works fine in MAX, I have the drivers (NI-DAQmx 9.3) installed (I'm using Matlab 7.12 R2011a and Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.18).

If anyone has any idea how to solve this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

what is your OS? windows 7? if the OS is windows 7, try running Matlab as admin under right click menu.

Hi Tomaz,

The prerelease of R2011b Data Acquisition Toolbox now supports many non-compactDAQ devices with Session-based interface.

If you have a valid MATLAB license, you can download the R2011b prerelease from here
