Saving FieldPoint Configuration Files in LabVIEW Project

When you save a LabVIEW project, LabVIEW saves the .iak configuration file in the same folder as the project file, with the same file name. Only the file extension differs, so that if your project file is called MyProject.lvproj, the corresponding .iak file is called MyProject.iak. If you want to move or copy the project to another computer, you must also move or copy the .iak file.

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.
