What version of the CMU DCAM driver should I use with Image Acquisition Toolbox?

I am using a DCAM camera with Image Acquisition Toolbox. I have installed the CMU DCAM driver and tested it according to the instructions on the supported hardware page

 <http://www.mathworks.com/products/imaq/supportedio7414.html>

However my camera does not work with the Toolbox.

This bug has been fixed in Release 2007b (R2007b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

There is an error in the documentation for Image Acquisition Toolbox with regards to the driver version requirements.

Each version of Image Acquisition Toolbox is designed to work with a specific version of the CMU DCAM Driver. For example Image Acquisition Toolbox 1.10 (R2006a) is compatible with CMU DCAM version 6.3. Older or newer versions of the driver may not function properly.

The supported version of the driver is shipped with MATLAB and can be located in the following directory:

 $MATLABROOT\toolbox\imaq\imaqextern\drivers\win32\dcam

Where $MATLABROOT is the MATLAB root directory on your machine, as returned by executing MATLABROOT at the MATLAB Command Prompt.
