MATLAB for UD - Windows

Hi all,

Here an example Matlab script for linux using a compiled version of the u6.c as shared library to get access to the high level functions like eAIN and eDAC.

Have fun

% Tested on 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10 Linux

% Tested with MatLab 7.10.0.499 (R2010a)

% Use the higher level u6 functions, like eAIN and eDAC, with ONE LabJack U6.

% All done, close LabJack:

calllib( 'liblabjackusb', 'LJUSB_CloseDevice', handle );

fprintf( 'All done!\n' );

Looks like the issue was related to this U3 call:

ljudObj.ePut(ljhandle, LabJack.LabJackUD.IO.PUT_ANALOG_ENABLE_PORT, 0, 3, 16);

We updated the examples so these calls will work in newer versions of MATLAB. Also, we fixed the stream example for 64-bit versions of MATLAB.
