How transfer custom scaling in DAQ assistant when making executables

[Michaelbolton]

We have one computer where we make the labVIEW executables then send that out to the computers at each work station. When I make the program on computer A I create custom scaling when first calibrating all my motors. Then when I make the executable it doesn't work on computer B. I then tried just using the program on computer B and it tells me computer B doesn't have custom scaling X. Once I create the custom scaling on computer B the executable works on it. Is there a way to package the custom scaling with my executable.

Generic advice:

• Don't use the DAQAssistent in executables.
• Don't use it when distributing executables (or even VIs) to other computers.

Specific advice:

Create the scales within your program. It becomes more easy when you don't use that DAQAssistent, but plain DAQmx functions!

I would recommend using the DAQmx APIs to create the scales within your application (same applies to Tasks create within the application)
