How to solve ADALM1000 not seen by Matlab?

Hello,
I've been trying to use the ADALM1000 so first I plugged it, I downloaded Zadig which installed WinUSB driver.
But the thing is I want to use Matlab to control the device. So I installed the Data Acquisition ToolBox in Matlab. But my device is not seen by Matlab ( by using daq.getDevices).
When I try to type "daq.createSession('adi')" it says :"The vendor 'adi' is not known. Use 'daq.getVendors()' for a list of vendors."
So I type "daq.getVendors" and I get:
Number of vendors: 2
index ID Operational Comment
----- --- ----------- ------------------------
1 adi true Analog Devices Inc.
2 ni false Click here for more info
I ask for properties and I get:
ID: 'adi'
FullName: 'Analog Devices Inc.'
AdaptorVersion: '3.8 (R2015b)'
DriverVersion: '1.0'
IsOperational: true
ID: 'ni'
FullName: 'National Instruments'
AdaptorVersion: '3.8 (R2015b)'
DriverVersion: 'unknown'
IsOperational: false
I don't understand why my Device is not seen by Matlab when the driver is considered operational.
I had problems too when I installed the toolbox, it said I hadn't the rights and I needed to change PATH. I changed my folder and redownloaded the toolbox and it worked. Don't know if it may be an issue.
Is the problem due to the fact that I need another driver for Matlab, or do I need to change the firmware, or did I miss a step in the installation? Thank you.

That is by design. Support packages get installed under C:\MATLAB\SupportPackages.

You need the latest firmware of the device as the old firmware has very serious bugs and is unsupported in MATLAB.
Could you update the firmware and try again?
Instructions on upgrading the firmware are here: https://wiki.analog.com/university/tools/m1k-firmware-upgrade#manual_update

The toolbox abstracts away details. When you are measuring voltage without generating a current the ADALM1000 device is automatically set into high impedance mode.
Perhaps if you describe your application or use case someone can recommend the appropriate workflow.
