Editing FieldPoint Configuration Files in MAX

You must use MAX to perform some FieldPoint configuration tasks such as network configuration and access control. If you change or rename devices and items in MAX, the devices and items will be invalid when you reopen the project in LabVIEW.

If you open a project that includes FieldPoint items and the .iak file is unavailable, all FieldPoint items will be invalid and will be represented by yellow icons in the configuration tree. If you can replace or recover the .iak file, close the project without saving, find the .iak file, put it in the same folder as your project file, and reopen the project. The valid FieldPoint items will be restored in the configuration tree.

If you have renamed devices, items, or the .iak file, close the project without saving, open the .iak file in MAX, rename the devices, items, or .iak file, and resave the .iak file. Then reopen the project in LabVIEW.
