Exporting and Importing a Configuration in MAX

You can save virtual channels, tasks, devices, and their relationships for reuse in other systems also running MAX. To reuse a configuration, you must first export a channel, task, or device configuration. Exporting the configuration creates an .nce configuration file that you can then import into another system with MAX. Using the Import and Export features in MAX, you can create an NI-DAQmx simulated version of a physical device or import an NI-DAQmx simulated device configuration onto a physical device. For detailed instructions on how to export and import configurations for deployment, refer to Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for NI-DAQmx.

Note  When you use LabWindows/CVI to create a distribution, you can specify to invoke the MAX Configuration Export Wizard to include the hardware configurations in your deployed application.

You can also programmatically import and export configuration files. For more information, refer to the MAX Configuration VI Reference for LabVIEW or the MAX Configuration Function Reference for LabWindows/CVI.
