how do i pass a daqmx task from labview to matlab using the math interface toolkit?

[MarkAG]

I want to use DAQMX functions from Matlab using the Math Interface Toolkit (MIT). How can I have a labview function output (return) the DAQMX task to matlab via the MIT?

I want to do this so I can start a DAQMX task in Labview from a matlab function and return control to matlab without losing the task.

I'm sorry to say that I don't have an answer for you as I am just starting to use Matlab, but I would recommend reposting your question on the LabVIEW board, as many of us don't scan these other boards daily.

Hi Mark,

Since the DAQmx Task is not a native data type that can be passed directly to MATLAB from LAbVIEW, try flattening the DAQmx Task to a string before passing to MATLAB. However, I doubt that you can access the task from within MATLAB, but feel free to give it a try.

Good luck!
