I setup MAX and scaled all my outputs and everything has been working fine for months. Yesterday I added another fieldpoint module, set it up, and the program was running normally. I stopped the program, changed my sample, started the program again...and suddenly my program was returning very weird (non-physical) data. I traced it back to improper scaling (MAX was reporting correct raw values), but when I tried to fix the problem, I no longer have access to the settings box I used to do the initial scaling! (see attached image)
I was able to workaround this problem by polling each channel individually (with a loss in latency now from polling the serial module an extra 5 times...) but I'm really curious as to how/why this occurred. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Randall

Hi Mechanical-Randall,
Have you tried removing your configuration in the Data Neighborhood and adding your devices again? You can do this by right-clicking your FieldPoint 1000 and selecing Find Devices. Let me know if the selection box appears after doing this. Make sure to keep a backup copy of your *.iak file just in case you need to restore it.
