How can I use NI-PCI-6010 DAQ Device in Simulink?

Hello there,

I have bought National Instruments PCI-6010 DAQ Device as I see it in the supported hardware list.

https://www.mathworks.com/products/daq/supported/ni-daqmx.html

Even though it is shown in the list that PCI-6010 is available for both session and legacy interfaces, i could not find it under Install New Board tab of any Real-Time Windows Target library blocks.

I have checked every single option in there. Is there any way to use it, or is PCI-6010 not compatible with Simulink?

I am using MATLAB R2012a by the way.

The Data Acquisition Toolbox does support the NI PCI-6010, as you have linked above. However, Real-Time Windows Target does not, which you can see from the following link:

Real-Time Windows Target Supported Hardware

If you are looking to use the NI PCI-6010 in Simulink, this can be done with the Data Acquisition Toolbox library. The library can be opened by typing daqlib in the command window.

Thank you for the answer, I am using 64-bit MATLAB, so i think I cannot use 'daqlib' command neither. Is there another solution to deal with it?

Currently the daqlib is only supported for the legacy interface on 32-bit MATLAB.

It may be possible for you to obtain or download a 32-bit version of MATLAB from our website.
