save a custom scale in MAX with DAQmx

[RomanL]

Hy everyone,
my application should save new values to an existing scale.
My problem: I don't see the new values in MAX and
when I restart the computer the new values are gone.
So, is it possible to save the new values (slope, y-intercept) promatically?

Thank you!

Hello RomanL,

The custom scale is created in the VI's compile time, so it will not save to memory in MAX for use with other VI's. The custom scale will not show up in MAX, however, you can select it from a list in another VI. The DAQmx Create Channel.vi has an input for a custom scale. After you run a VI that creates the custom scale, you can create a constant off of the DAQmx Create Channel.vi. The constant will have the custom scale available from a drop down list. Therefore, you do not have to recreate that custom scale in each instance.

So, it is not possible to save new scale values into Max programatically.

I would not doubt that such a "save Daqmx scale" VI will be integrated in the future.

Hope this helps
