Edit Max programattically

[deskpilot]

I would like to be able to set up a channel in max, then programmatically change the scale on that channel. I would like to do this so that I can call that channel in a seperate VI without having to run through the create channel and scale vi's. So far, this does not look possible? When I edit a scale it does not change the values in MAX?

Hi deskpilot,

This is achievable using the DAQmx Save Scale vi, which can be found in the following pallette:

Meaurement I/O >> DAQmx >> Advanced >> System Setup >> Storage

For an example of how to do this, I would take a look at the following Developer Zone example:

Change DAQmx scales in LabVIEW and Save the Changed Scales to MAX
