FieldPoint: Is there a way to programmatically access (configure and read) the linear coefficients found on the Scales tab for any particular channel (e.g. MAX\My System\Data Neighborhood\FieldPoint Items\<configName>\cFP-AI-100 @1\Channel 0)?
Three special-function VIs exist in the FieldPoint\Advanced\Advanced Ethernet palette.
Configure Range.vi, Configure Atttribute.vi, and Configure deadband.vi use special extensions to the standard URL (Logos:\\FP\1AI\00) of \ConfiguredRange, \Attributes, and \DeadbandConfiguration, respectively, to programmatically configure these items (normally done in MAX or in a LabVIEW Project).
I assume there is a similar one for the scaling coefficients, and as my ESP powers have failed me lately, ... help?
Thanks, Dave

Changing the scale would require changes to the IAK file. Here is the forum post I am referencing:

Also, you can programmatically change some of the channel attributes:
