Problems using Data Acquisition Toolbox and MCC USB-1208FS data acquisition board with Matlab 2011a (64bits) in a PC with Windows 7 (64 bits).

I'm programming a MCC USB-1208FS data acquisition board with Matlab 2011a (64bits) in a PC with Windows 7 (64 bits). Data Acquisition Toolbox supports the use of two interfaces. The legacy interface and the session-based interface. The session-based interface only works with National Instruments CompactDAQ devices. The legacy interface works with all supported data acquisition hardware but I cannot use the legacy interface on a 64–bit Windows system. What must I do? Must I use another version of Matlab, for example Matlab 2010 (32 bits) in my PC (64bits)? Must I change to another 32 bits PC?

Thank you very much for your kind attention.

R2011b apparently has significantly more support for other devices... but be sure to check the documentation before buying.

For now: Yes, install the 32 bit version of MATLAB and use that.
