Data Acquisition Toolbox    

Troubleshooting Your Hardware


This appendix describes simple tests you can perform to troubleshoot your National Instruments, ComputerBoards, Agilent Technologies, and Windows sound card hardware. The tests involve using software provided by the vendor or the operating system (sound cards), and does not involve using the Data Acquisition Toolbox.

To accurately test your hardware, you should use these tools to match the requirements of your data acquisition session. For example, you should select the appropriate sampling rate, number of channels, acquisition mode (continuous or single-point), and input range.

If these tests do not help you, then you may need to register the hardware driver adaptor or contact The MathWorks for support. Contact information is provided in Contacting The MathWorks as well as in the beginning of this guide. If the problem is with your hardware, then you should contact the hardware vendor.
