Okay I have a computer running some trending package . I have to change the Temperture ranges , how is this done . I do have a .IAK file but no software will open it . What is needed to change this scale . Also is this scaled in the processor like 4 -20 ma = 600 - 200 Deg ? or does some other software do this?

You can open and save .IAK files in MAX, and you can also set the thermocouple type and scale in MAX
In Measurement and Automation Explorer, go to Tools -> FieldPoint ->New or Open

Hi,
Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) is free and it installs with most National Instruments driver software. If you have FieldPoint installed on your computer you should have MAX also unless it was unselected during installation. Also, early versions of MAX (< FP 4.0) used FieldPoint Explorer instead of MAX. The drivers and updates page can be found here. Tell us more about your application and problem if you would like additional help.

As Eric A. stated above, MAX is included with many of our device driver downloads. Thus, simply download and install FieldPoint 6.0.1 to obtain this software. Once it is installed, launch the program by going to Start » All Programs » National Instruments » Measurement and Automation. Then, load your .iak file by going to Tools » FieldPoint » Open. When this is complete, the Data Neighborhood will populate with folders representing your FieldPoint's IO modules. Simply expand these folders and modify the scaling for the appropriate channels. Let me know if you have further questions.
