Question: Why is the 'demo' adaptor missing from the list of

Why is the 'demo' adaptor missing from the list of InstalledAdaptors in Image Acquistion Toolbox 3.0 (R2007b)? In Image Acquistion Toolbox 2.1 (R2007a), there is a 'demo' adaptor listed as InstalledAdaptors   imaqhwinfo ans = InstalledAdaptors: {'coreco' 'dcam' 'demo' 'winvideo'} MATLABVersion: '7.4 (R2007a)' ToolboxName: 'Image Acquisition Toolbox' ToolboxVersion: '2.1 (R2007a)' This is not the case in MATLAB R2007b. imaqhwinfo ans = InstalledAdaptors: {'coreco' 'dcam' 'winvideo'} MATLABVersion: '7.5 (R2007b)' ToolboxName: 'Image Acquisition Toolbox' ToolboxVersion: '3.0 (R2007b)'

This bug has been fixed in Release 2007a (R2007a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
 
The ''demo' adaptor is not registered by default anymore. It is possible to use it however using the following commands:
 
imaqregister([matlabroot '\toolbox\imaq\imaqadaptors\kit\demo\mwdemoimaq.dll']);

imaqreset

imaqhwinfo

ans = 

      InstalledAdaptors: {'coreco'  'dcam'  'mwdemoimaq'  'winvideo'}

          MATLABVersion: '7.5 (R2007b)'

            ToolboxName: 'Image Acquisition Toolbox'

         ToolboxVersion: '3.0 (R2007b)'

The adaptor should work as before, but with a different name (mwdemoimaq).
