 Prior to launching MATLAB R2017a, a MCC daq device must be configured in InstaCal.  Otherwise, you will get a “no devices available” error, in MATLAB.  (The latest release of InstaCal can be downloaded from the Support section of MCC’s website.)  Also, InstaCal must then be closed before opening MATLAB and should not be opened while MATLAB is running. Prior to launching MATLAB R2017a, a MCC daq device must be configured in InstaCal.  Otherwise, you will get a “no devices available” error, in MATLAB.  (The latest release of InstaCal can be downloaded from the Support section of MCC’s website.)  Also, InstaCal must then be closed before opening MATLAB and should not be opened while MATLAB is running.
