Invalid Message ID Format: ' ' with NiDaq?

Hello,

I'm using the NiDaq toolbox with MATLAB 2020A. I have verified that the NiDAQ box is connected to my laptop and is detected by MATLAB using daqvendorlist and daqlist as shown below:

daqvendorlist

ans =

  1×4 table

     ID               FullName              AdaptorVersion      DriverVersion  
    ____    ____________________________    ______________    _________________

    "ni"    {'National Instruments(TM)'}    "4.1 (R2020a)"    "20.0.0 NI-DAQmx"
    
    
    
    
>> daqlist

ans =

  1×5 table

    VendorID    DeviceID                Description                  Model             DeviceInfo       
    ________    ________    ___________________________________    __________    _______________________

      "ni"       "Dev2"     "National Instruments(TM) USB-6008"    "USB-6008"    [1×1 daq.ni.DeviceInfo]

However, as per the documentation if I try to use the daq function to create a DataAcquisition object I get the following error:

>> s = daq("ni")
Invalid Message ID format: ''.

I'm unsure of what the error actually means. The syntax is as listed in the documentation. Thanks

It turns out that the driver version of my NiDAQ is only supported on 2020B and not 2020A. Updating solved the issue, in case anyone has a similar problem.
