DAQmx Base for PocketPC - Gain incorrectly programmed?

I've been using a PCMCIA-6062 and 6041 and all the measurements I'm taking when using DAQmx Base for PocketPC seem to have the wrong gain setting. In the DAQmx Base Task Configuration tool I'm setting the gain to 1 but I'm fairly sure it is returning a value where the gain is really 0.5.

I've been looking at the RAW values and the scaled results and they seem to confirm my thoughts. Has anyone else seen this?

I've found my error. The gain is correct I was programming the gain to 1 in BIPOLAR mode and so expecting the input range to be +/- 10 Volts. After reading the manual what I should have been doing was programming the gain to 0.5.
