Are National Instruments PCIe-6536 and PCIe-6537 devices supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.10 (R2007a)?

I would like to know if National Instruments PCIe-6536 and PCIe-6537 devices are supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.10 (R2007a).

National Instruments PCIe-6536 and PCIe-6537 devices are not supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.10 (R2007a).

To work around this issue, perform these steps to add support for these devices in R2007a:

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:

 [PCIe-6536] 

 hasAnalogInput   = false 

 hasAnalogOutput  = false 

 hasDigitalIO     = true 

 digitalPortSize  = 8,8,8,8 

 digitalPortCap   = 4,4,4,4 

 [PCIe-6537] 

 hasAnalogInput   = false 

 hasAnalogOutput  = false 

 hasDigitalIO     = true 

 digitalPortSize  = 8,8,8,8 

 digitalPortCap   = 4,4,4,4

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