If TRUE, LabVIEW coerces the shared variable data to a range you specify. The default is FALSE. To use this property, you must install the LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control Module.

You can use this property for shared variables with a Scale Type of Linear.

If you scale the data for a shared variable you can write, the data must be between the Scaling:Raw Min and Scaling:Raw Max values. If you scale the data for a shared variable you can read, the data must be between the Scaling:Engineering Min and Scaling:Engineering Max values.

This property is similar to the Coerce to Range option on the Scaling page of the Shared Variable Properties dialog box.
