Please help! I am running Matlab 2012b 64bits version on window 8.1. Instrument control toolbox is also installed. However, When I typed in command window "instrhwinfo", the results are as follow.

>> instrhwinfo

ans =

          MATLABVersion: '8.0 (R2012b)'
    SupportedInterfaces: {1x7 cell}
       SupportedDrivers: {'matlab'}
            ToolboxName: 'Instrument Control Toolbox'
         ToolboxVersion: '3.2 (R2012b)'

From the ans, "SupportedDrivers: {'matlab'}", only matlab is supported. What about "'ivi','vxipnp'? Are these drivers need to installed? or not supported at all with window 8.1, in Malab 2012b 64bits version? Please advice me if I need to install any drivers?

I hope that I am clear.

Thanks in advance
