Cannot use custom scale with AO on usb-6008

[Jed_Davidow]

Using a usb-6008.  Using a custom scale for ai0 works fine (input).

But I get the "Custom Scale Does Not Exist" error when using the same scale with ao0.  Seems to work fine if I don't use a scale.

Tried creating the scale within the code as well as setting it up within the project.  Neither works.

Hello Jed,

Have you tried following these steps?

I believe I tried this- but the error is not a range error, the error is "The scale does not exist".

I know it exists, because during my troubles I tried using the same scale I was using for an AI task (just to see if it detected it) and this would not work (the ranges are valid in both scales, either direction).

Hello Jed,

Can you share the VI you're using?

Can you also share your custom scale?

This way I can try to reproduce the behavior at my side.

You can export a scale by following these steps:
