I am using a USB 6008 with Windows 7, 64 bit, with Matlab R2011b, MatlabData Acquisition Toolbox 3.0.
My question in this regard is: Is not there a loss of functionality for the USB now due to the fact that I cannot create a DIO object? My current code generates a DIO object and controls direction of a motor using the digital port. How can I use digital ports on my USB to control external devices using the session based interface?
Also,
I checked earlier about the USB compatibility. According to this, it should work with both Legacy and Session based. http://www.mathworks.com/products/daq/supportedio14005.html#USB
However, I feel the support documentation should say that the Legacy platform works with 32 bit Matlab only.

One option would be to install a 32-bit version of MATLAB on your 64-bit OS. This would allow you to use the legacy interface features including DIO.
See this solution for details on how to do this.

Thanks Rob. I will try that and report back what I find.

hi rob, speaking of options: what other could you imagine, which would work in 64-Bit versions?
