Insight on configuring shared I/O

[adamoutlaw]

I need to use the same I/O for two different computers but I'm not sure how to start.  Is there anybody that could point me in the right direction as far as where to start to configuration?

Hi,

Once you have configured your FieldPoint hardware in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX), you can use an .IAK file to save the configuration. Opening an .IAK file in MAX will recover all of the FieldPoint configuration properties that were previously saved.

One important note is that the same version of the FieldPoint driver should be installed on both host PCs that you will be accessing your FieldPoint hardware from. You can check this version in MAX by navigating to My Systems, expanding the Software tab and choosing FieldPoint.
