using a custom scale?

I've also been trying to get custom scaling to work in Labview 8.2.  Unfortunately the maximum scaled value required for one channel is 240, and I discovered that the DAQmx 'Create Channel-AI voltage' VI for some reason will not allow a maximum above 98.  None of the other versions of the VI seem suitable, is there any way around this?  Scaling later on would be messy as in each loop I'm reading in a range of channels as a 2D array and want to display scaled results as they are collected.
 
Thanks.

Ahh, I've just worked it out.  For the benefit of anyone else interested I think that the max and min voltages on the Create Channel VI are limited to the real world limits of the the acquisition card after the custom scale has been applied.  I thought that 98V was a strange number for an inbuilt limit.
