Is the MCC USB-DIO24/37 supported by the Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.5 (R14)?

I would like to use the MCC USB-DIO24/37 board with the Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.5 (R14). According to the webpage on supported hardware, this board is not listed, however, it is very similar to the PMD/USB-1024LS board, which is supported. I would like to know if there is still a way to use this MCC board with the toolbox.

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2006b (R2006b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

Although this board is not officially supported, you can perform the following steps in order to use it with the Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.5 (R14):

1. Make a backup copy of the following file:

$MATLAB/toolbox/daq/daq/private/mwmcc.ini

(where $MATLAB = MATLABs root directory on your machine)

You can call it mwmcc.ini.old or whatever you wish.

2) Use a text editor to add the following lines to the bottom of the original mwmcc.ini file:

[USB-DIO24/37]

ID = 0x93

Bus = USB

DIOConfigurable = 1

DPORTS = 4

DPORT0LINES = 8

DPORT0TYPE = 10

DPORT0CONFIG = 2

DPORT1LINES = 8

DPORT1TYPE = 11

DPORT1CONFIG = 2

DPORT2LINES = 4

DPORT2TYPE = 12

DPORT2CONFIG = 2

DPORT3LINES = 4

DPORT3TYPE = 13

DPORT3CONFIG = 2

3) Restart MATLAB
