Modifying fieldpoint configuration in labview

Question

I try to solve a problem and up to now do not find any solution, could somebody help??
I have an application working with fieldpoint module (one ethernet head FP-1601 with io modules FP-AI-100, FP-AO-210, FP-DI-300 and FP-RLY-420) this application is supposed to work on different machine (AI and AO range are differents) so I'm trying to find how to dinamically inside my application change the range of AI and AO as we normally set this in MAX.
If this is not possible, could it be possible from inside the application to manage a set of different IAK files, those will be then pre-created with MAX for the differents machine?
Thanks for any help!

Changing the input configuration programmatically, thought if current or
voltage input and ranges etc., isn't possible
with the normal FieldPoint VI's in LabVIEW. These settings can only be
altered and saved with the IAK- file, which needs to be available, when
you try to connect to the FieldPoint System via Server (this is done at
latest when you call the first FieldPoint VI). Some other
attributes can be changed programmatically by creating a specific item.(How Can I Programmatically Change Configurations of a FieldPoint Module?   http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/960F6F90436A1A1A86256FBA0062E463?OpenDocument) Which items these are, is specific to the FP- module.
If your are familiar with FieldPoint programming using Datasocket, then
you are able to change channel ranges programmatically (you don't need
an IAK- File for that)
