Before You Begin (Data Acquisition Toolbox)

Data Acquisition Toolbox

Installation

To acquire live, measured data in the MATLAB environment, you must install:

The Data Acquisition Toolbox
Data acquisition hardware
Software associated with your hardware (drivers, support libraries, etc.).

Installation of these items is discussed below.

Toolbox Installation

Your platform-specific MATLAB Installation Guide provides essentially all of the information you need to install the Data Acquisition Toolbox. Vendor-specific drivers or support libraries are not installed with the Data Acquisition Toolbox.

Prior to installation, you must obtain a License File or Personal License Password from The MathWorks. The License File or Personal License Password identifies the products you are permitted to install and use.

If you experience installation difficulties and have Web access, connect to The MathWorks home page (http://www.mathworks.com). Look for the license manager and installation information under the Tech Notes/FAQ link under Tech Support Info.

Hardware and Driver Installation

Installation of your hardware is described by its documentation. Installation of drivers and any other associated software should be described by this documentation as well.

Note:
Vendor-specific drivers or support libraries are not installed with the Data Acquisition Toolbox.
