Measure the resistance change of a potentiometer

I'm using MATLAB 2015a.

I connected a potentiometer (Amphenol 4201B-10k) to a NI 9219 module using 2-wire resistance mode. I tried to acquire the resistance change of the potentiometer.

However, the measurement types only support 'Voltage', 'Current', 'Thermocouple', 'RTD', and 'Bridge'.

It seems that the 'resistance' is not on the list: http://uk.mathworks.com/help/daq/ref/measurementtype.html

How could I acquire the resistance change using MATLAB?

Thanks.

I'm also struggling with this problem for a custom RTD. Matlab made me go back to LabView for this!

I believe that you can use the voltage and current measurement to get the resistance using the simple equation of

Voltage = Current x Resistance (V=IR)
