Configure Channel sets the vertical and Configure Acquistion Record sets the horizontal. Just like the example for single channel waveform acquire (Help>Find Examples>Hardware Input and Output>Instrument Drivers>LabVIEW Plug and Play). Turn context help on to see a description of each function in the driver.

I did give you an example. Unlike the knobs on the scope, the VIs allow you to set the entire range. So, if you have 10 divisions and you manually set it to 1V/division, you have a 10V range. That's the same as the default in the above mentioned example.
