Just got latest matlab release going with windows 7 with the DAQ toolbox.
I'm using Nat. Inst. USB-6009.

The DAQ interface doesn't recognize that the device has 8 different analog
input ranges: in fact the analog input channel properties should include
InputRange and don't. Error when you try to set, doesnt show up in inspect,
etc.

I don't know what else the 6009 can do (and do under LabView, in fact) that
matlab doesn't support, but I'm sure I'll find out. The question is: does anyone
know whether it could be the driver (we're in some version of NI-DAQmx
pretty clearly) or the adaptor that's not supporting the full functionality? Is
there anything I can do to upgrade performance?

Also, softscope works in its default configuration but as soon as I try to
change any settings, it does everything from quit leaving the 6009 in
a bad state, to spawning millions of windows and bringing down Windows.
Anyone had any luck with this attractive-looking little application?

Cheers,
Chris
