Changing Univese Settings in Chartscanner

I am having a problem sending system results to an external file using Chartscanner.  I am using End-of-Day TradeStation and CSI Data.  After a few phone calls to Omega's Tech Support I am none the wiser so hopefully someone on this list can set me straight.  
 
My problem arises from the fact that CSI uses symbols for certain data which are different than the defaults for TradeStation.  For example CSI's symbol for the Canadian dollar on the CME for the day session is Y5.  If I don't adjust the settings charting works fine but system results are off because the Universe settings shows a Value setting of .01 instead of the required 100000.  (I think .01 is the default)
 
Depending on the Technician I talked to the solution is either 1) change the Server settings; 2) change the settings using Format Price Data/Settings/Universe 3) it can't be done.  
 
Solution 1 didn't seem to do anything for me.  Solution 2 worked except that when I scrolled to the next chart in my custom data list the setting changes were lost.  This occurred even when I saved the workspace first.  Solution 2 worked with individual charts but not in chartscanner mode.  And solution 3 ... well that isn't a solution at all.  
 
Any advice?
