Export/Import MAX data

[Berezka]

I'm working with MAX 4.7.7

I would like to export/import the following MAX data:

1. Devices and interfaces, including GPIB, network, USB

I tried to use Configuration Export\Import Wizard. And there was a problem at least with GPIB.

I have one GPIB interface (GPIB0) with 5 instruments.

Firstly, in the Export window I see only one line per GPIB than can be checked, i.e. GPIB0 (GPIB-ENET/100). No instruments. So I even don't know what GPIB data is exported if I checked it.

After the export I deleted the GPIB0 and tried to import previously saved configuration.  I get an error: "The following products cannot copy to the destination system: NI-488.2 2.8.1: Cannot import GPIB settings due to insufficient permissons. Continue?"

2. VISA aliases of the devices above

How to export/import this data?

3. IVI drivers

I tried to save/open IVI configuration using "Save as / Open IVI Configuration" options, and it looks like it is working fine.

How to do all this?

Thanks

Fix: The error message is not as above, but:

"The following products cannot copy to the destination system: NI-488.2 2.8.1: Cannot import GPIB settings to system with no GPIB interfaces present. Continue?"

Fix2:

Actually, I already know, that:

2. VISA aliases may be saved and loaded using Configuration Export\Import Wizard.

3. IVI configuration may be saved as Master or not Master (named in MAX Current) IVI configuration file, but in order that MAX will load always new IVI configuration, it's not enough to open the not Master IVI configuration, but replace Master file.

So, there is one question:

How to save and load GPIB configuration?

Just like the message says, you cannot import a configuration for a device that does not exist. Restore the GPIB and rerun the import.
