DAQmxCreateLinScale
int32 DAQmxCreateLinScale (const char name[], float64 slope, float64 yIntercept,
int32 preScaledUnits, const char scaledUnits[]);
Purpose
Creates and configures a scale that uses the equation y=mx+b, where x is the prescaled value and y is the scaled value. The equation is identical for input and output. If your equation is in the form x=my+b, you must first solve for y in terms of x.
