This is unsupported, but possible. You will first need to locate the
directory that contains the database information. This is usually
located in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\VI Logger\data. If
the data is not located there, you can find it by starting MAX and
going to Tools»VI-Logger»Database. The location of the database files
should be listed under the location heading.
Once you have located the database, you can copy all of the files
located in the database directory to the other computer. They must be
copied to the exact same location on the other computer for this to
work. After these files have been copied, copy the config.mxs file
located in the MAX directory (usually located in C:\Program
Files\National Instruments\MAX) to the MAX directory on t
he other
computer. It is important to note that for this procedure to work, you
must copy the files to the exact same location on the target computer.
The .mxs file contains the configuration settings for the environment
in MAX, so copying this file to another computer overwrites those
settings. This may lead to undesired results and that is why this
procedure is not officially supported. It is recommended that this is
done on fresh installations of MAX, right before the system has been
configured, so that the system can be properly configured once the
data is imported.
