AIChannel.UseExcitationForScaling Property
Specifies if NI-DAQmx divides the measurement by the excitation. You should typically set this property to for ratiometric transducers. If you set this property to , set Maximum and Minimum to reflect the scaling.

Namespace:  NationalInstruments.DAQmx
Assembly:  NationalInstruments.DAQmx (in NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll) Version: 20.7.40.49302

Remarks

For example, if you expect to acquire a voltage between -5 and 5, and you use an excitation of .10 volts to scale the measurement, set Minimum to -50 and set Maximum to 50. If you set BridgeConfiguration to NoBridge, this property has no effect on the measurement.
