Error "DAQmx Save scale.vi"

[ProgrammerTN]

Hello,
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,

Could you post a copy of your code?
Also, what version of NI-DAQ are you using?

Thanks

Hi,

I have confirmed the error on my machine using the example.
I will see what I can find out and get back to you.

Hello,

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.
