Is the National Instruments PCI-6154 device supported by the Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.12 (R2008a)?

I would like to know if the National Instruments PCI-6154 device is supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.12 (R2008a).

This enhancement has been incorporated in Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.15 (R2009b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

National Instruments PCI-6154 is not supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.12 (R2008a).

To work around this issue, perform these steps to add support for this device in R2008a:

1. Quit MATLAB.

2. Find the following file:

$MATLABROOT\toolbox\daq\daq\private\mwnidaqmx.ini

where $MATLABROOT is the MATLAB root installation directory obtained by issuing:

matlabroot

at the MATLAB Command Prompt.

3. Make a copy of this file and rename it to mwnidaqmx.ini.old.

4. Open the file mwnidaqmx.ini in a text editor, and add the following lines at the end of the file:

 [PCI-6154] 

 hasAnalogInput   = true 

 numAIChannels    = 4 

 hasAnalogOutput  = true 

 numAOChannels    = 4 

 maxAOSampleRate  = 250000,250000,250000,250000 

 hasDigitalIO     = true 

 digitalPortSize  = 6,4 

 digitalPortCap   = 1,2

5. Save the file mwnidaqmx.ini and restart MATLAB.
