I'd really like to be able to use my MacOS version of MATLAB R2016a with any of the commercially available USB DAQ modules. Am I missing something? Does that capability exist and I'm just uninformed?

NI does not provide drivers for their NI-DAQmx for OS-X, only for MS Windows and Linux.

NI is not the only vendor providing USB DAQ modules. I guess it's a chicken and egg argument. If there were a toolkit available for MATLAB the DAQ OEMs might make the device. Many DAQ modules use very simple SCPI commands.

When I look at the list of supported devices, I see

National Instruments devices
two very specific devices, one listed under "analog devices" and the other listed under manufacturer but listing only a single supported device
Soundcards being run with Windows DirectSound drivers

With DirectSound not being available for OS-X, and with NI not providing OS-X support, that would leave two devices as supported, which hardly seems creating a toolbox for.

But if the goal is to use SCPI compatible devices, then see the Instrument Control Toolbox, which is supported on OS-X and Linux.
