Data Acquisition Toolbox | ![]() ![]() |
Expected Background
To use the Data Acquisition Toolbox, you should have some familiarity with:
If You Are a New User
For a brief review of basic data acquisition concepts, you should start with Chapter 1, Introduction to Data Acquisition. Otherwise, start with Chapter 2, Getting Started with the Data Acquisition Toolbox, which provides simple examples that illustrate how to input and output data. Then read the appropriate chapter based on the hardware subsystem you are using. For example, if you are acquiring data with an analog input subsystem, you should read Chapter 4, Getting Started with Analog Input.
After you have successfully transferred data between your hardware device and MATLAB, you should read the appropriate reference material as needed. If you want detailed information about a specific function, refer to Chapter 9, Function Reference. If you want detailed information about a specific property, refer to Chapter 10, Base Property Reference or Chapter 11, Device-Specific Property Reference.
If You Are an Experienced User
Start with Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.0 in the Release Notes for a description of new and modified toolbox features.
You should then read the appropriate reference material as needed. If you want detailed information about a specific function, refer to Chapter 9, Function Reference. If you want detailed information about a specific property, refer to Chapter 10, Base Property Reference or Chapter 11, Device-Specific Property Reference.
