Hello Joe,
Yes you can do this! When you export your configuration in MAX into a file from your PC, and then import this file into your Test machine, you don't have to change device numbers or anything - you are going to have the exact same configuration in your Test Machine than the one you had in your PC.
The steps below will tell you how to do this in Traditional and DAQmx:
To save Traditional NI-DAQ virtual channels:
Open MAX and go to Tools �Traditional NI-DAQ Configuration�Save Configuration As.
Save your current configuration to a file and close MAX.
Note: When you launch MAX, it searches for the name of the last active configuration file and uses that file as the new data source. Any changes you make in MAX are automatically saved to the file. Saving the configuration file also sets the new file as the active configuration file. So, if you do not want to use your saved configuration file the next time you open MAX, you can either change the active configuration file the next time you open MAX or simply rename the file you just saved. If you choose the second option, MAX will not find the last active configuration file and will create a new configuration file.
To use saved Traditional NI-DAQ virtual channels:
Open MAX and go to Tools�Traditional NI-DAQ Configuration �Set Active Configuration.
Browse to and select the saved file.
Note: When you set the active configuration to a saved file, remember that MAX will use that file as its new source until you use another configuration file or change the file name.
To save NI-DAQmx devices, tasks, and/or channels:
Select File�Export.
In the National Instruments Configuration Export Wizard window, select the location where you wish to save your file. If you do not use the default file name, you must type a name that ends in the .nce extension. If you wish to export all of MAX�s data, check the Export All Data box, click Next, and skip to step 5. Otherwise, click Next.
Select the tasks, global channels, and any other settings you wish to save.
Click Export.
A pane displays a report on the status of the export. This report may be edited and saved, but this is not required.
Click Finish.
To use saved NI-DAQmx devices, tasks and/or channels:
Select File�Import.
Type or browse the path to the directory containing the configuration file. Click Next.
An abbreviated configuration tree displays all devices, channels, and tasks saved in the configuration file. Click the check box next to each item you wish to import.
Click Import.
A pane displays a report on the status of the export. Type any edits to the report. Click Save Report when finished.
Click Finish.
Please let me know if I solved your question and if you have any additional questions.
Thanks,
LA
