DAQmx save scale error

[ProgrammerTN]

When I try to overwrite an existing scale with the VI "DAQmx save scale.vi" I get an Error -200356. The parameter "Overwrite Existing Scale?" is set to "true".
I've create the scalinig before with the condition "Allow Interactive Deletion?".

Hi Programmer

What version of DAQmx-driver do you use?

Hello Manuel Wielander,

the Problem is solved:
Are you using the DAQmx Create Scale vi as well? It is actually not possible to create a scale with the same name as an existing scale. However, you can still modify and save an already existing scale. For an example of how to do this, check out the following link: http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=F38DB14830876FE6E0340003BA7CCD71&p_node=201209&p_source=External

Thanks a lot.

That work around works fine.

But I also found that you can use the Delete Scale.vi before you cal the DAQmx Create Scale.vi
