How do custom scales take effect

[Steffan]

In my project I created a task and a few linear scales. Each channel within the task is assigned to a scale. In my LabVIEW code I must be able to modify the scales. See the attachment for a simplified piece of code that I'm using. This code is executed at initialisation. The problem is that when I modify the slope and intercept, I have to run the application, abort it and run it again before the new parameters take effect. What am I doing wrong here?

Steffan,

You need to stop and destroy the task, then programatically create a new task with the new scales.  See this thread.  http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=250&message.id=48410&query.id=288342#M48410

That fixed it! However, the only thing I need to do is destroy the taks immediately after changing the scales. Apperantely there is no need to re-create the task. Is this because I created the task in the project?

Steffan,

Glad to hear that you got it working.  Have not really looked at tasks defined in the project.  I have always chosen to do everything programatically.
