VAH, VAL and POC on a TPO Chart

I'm trying to access the Volume VAH / VAL and POC from a TPO Chart using ACSIL.
The Number of TPO Profile Periods is set to 'Multiple Periods Based on Fixed Time', and the Value Area and Point of Control are both highlighted based on Volume.
I understand I cannot access these values directly through ACSIL from a TPO Chart, but I thought I'd be able to access them by adding a VbP study with the Draw Mode set to Volume Profiles & POC, VAH, VAL, VWAP, and the Set As Independent Volume Profile for TPO setting set to Yes.

However, when I do this, I still cannot access the values.

Firstly, when I set the Set As Independent Volume Profile for TPO setting set to Yes, the Volume Graph Period Type always snaps back to 'One Period at End of Fixed Time Length', which is not what I want. I want something that matches the TPO Chart, so either 'Based on TPO Chart' or 'Multiple Profiles Based on Fixed Time'. The only way I can do this is to set the Set As Independent Volume Profile for TPO setting set to No, which then means I cannot access the required values anyway.

I can work around it by putting the TPO and VbP studies on completely separate charts, but would prefer not to do this.

I'm using a TPO Chart because I want the Initial Balance displayed too.

Is there a way of accessing the Volume VAH / VAL and POC from a TPO Chart using ACSIL when the Profile Periods are set to 'Multiple Periods Based on Fixed Time'?

Thanks.

Really if you want to access the TPO Value Area and Point of control you need to use this study on a standard chart:

Otherwise, we cannot think of a way of accessing that data from ACSIL.

Thank you for your response.
For now I think I'll stick to 2 separate charts as mentioned in my original posting.

Many thanks.
