NI USB-6003: Error -200452 when I try to add an analog input channel

Hi,

when I try to connect a NI USB-6003 to Matlab (R2013b 64-bit, Data Acquisition Toolbox v.3.4, OS: Win 7) I get an error -200452.

This is the code I executed and the error I got:

>> s = daq.createSession('ni')
>> s.addAnalogInputChannel('Dev1', 'ai0', 'Voltage')
NI Error -200452:
Specified property is not supported by the device or is not applicable to the task.
Property: DAQmx_AI_Coupling
Channel Name: Dev1/ai0

Task Name: _unnamedTask<1F>

Status Code: -200452

Adding an analog output channel works fine. I've also tried other analog input channels, alas to no avail.

When I tested the analog input channels in NI MAX they worked fine, so I don't think it is a device error.

The only help I found for this error was here , but the only useful suggestion there was that the specific device is not officially supported. However, the USB-6003 is definitely supported.

I'm a bit at a loss here, any help or suggestions what could cause this error would be much appreciated.

I haven't been able to confirm this yet, but the USB-6003 is only supported from Matlab 2014b onwards and I'm running 2013b. Good chance this is the source of the error, but I need to get hold of an up-to-date version to test.

I think it would be helpful if Mathworks stated more explicitly which versions of Matlab and the data acquisition toolbox support which devices or provided more meaningful error messages.
