MATLAB example for NI PCI-6221 and BNC-2110 boards

[SpaceQuester]

Hi, all!

I have two boards from National Instruments: PCI-6221 and BNC-2110. Using this equipments I need to read the analog voltage data and write analog voltage to the BNC-2110 board's pins in MATLAB. Please, tell me where are tutorials how to initialize the device, write and read the analog signals in pins. How can I know voltage range (and limits) and discretization for this board.

Thank you!

Hi SpaceQuester,

The driver that we ship with the PCI-6221 is DAQmx, and includes an API for LabVIEW, C, and .NET programming. Since your desire is to interact with the 6221 directly from MATLAB®, you will need to use the toolbox developed by MathWorks® to support NI hardware. I’ve provided a link to that resource below:

Regarding the voltage range(s)/limits and discretization associated with the 6221, you can find that information in the NI 6221 Device Specifications Manual:

I hope this helps!
