Is there a way to programmatically change a scale created in MAX and save it back to MAX? 

Thanks

Hello Joe White,

There is a way to programmatically change a scale created in MAX and then save it back.  To create a task from VS and save it, please see the following example program.  If you do want to change an existing scale, you could use something similar to the following code:

LinearScale myScale = (LinearScale)DaqSystem.Local.LoadScale("TestScale");
myScale.Slope = 5;
myScale.YIntercept = 6;
DaqSystem.Local.SaveScale(myScale, "", SaveOptions.OverwriteExisting|SaveOptions.AllowInteractiveEditing|SaveOptions.AllowInteractiveDeletion);
