Importing and Exporting Configurations

In MAX, you can save virtual channels, tasks, scales, and devices for reuse on other systems also running MAX. Use the Export Configuration Wizard in MAX to save a configuration. Use the Import Configuration Wizard in MAX to load a previously saved configuration. NI-DAQmx supports three import/export file formats:

Note  You can also programmatically import and export configuration files. For more information, refer to the MAX Configuration VI Reference for LabVIEW, the MAX Configuration Function Reference for LabWindows/CVI, or the MAX Configuration Function Reference for Measurement Studio.
Note  MAX cannot import/export TEDS sensor information.
Caution  Importing a new device configuration with the same name as an existing device configuration overwrites the current device configuration. Overwriting the current configuration breaks all dependencies with associated devices, channels, and tasks.
