[Problems installing minilab 1008 on windows 10]

Hi Fausto

thanks a lot for your reply.

Is there any other way I could control digital output to the minilab 1008 using windows 10 and matlab (2022) ?

Could I use system commands to access it? 

Or would it be possible via matlab in a linux system?

Or perhaps python has better support?

thanks

Fraser

ps if I try to test the digital lines via instacal I also get an error (i.e. go to Test:Digital A0:B0 - this test fails and no other lines seem possible to test)

Hi John

thanks very much for your reply. We have instacal installed and we ran this registry update (we can see the board in instacal - however we keep getting this warning to run a registry update each time we log in and connect the minilab).

I am attempting to use matlab v 2022 to write digital output lines to control some lights.

However when I use the DAQ toolbox functions in matlab the minilab only shows up as being an 'analogue' device (see below).

As such I am unable to add digital output lines which is what I need to do.

Any ideas on what might be happening here?

best

Fraser

Hi there

I am trying to get a minilab 1008 to work on windows 10 (previously it has worked great on Windows 7 install).

I tried installing instacal and plugging it in but that didn't seem to work. 

Do I also need to install some other drivers? DAQami for example?

thanks
