moving measurement and explorer settings from one pc to another

[ADL]

I want to be able to move everything from max to another PC.  This includes:

Virtual channels

IVI settings

All Hardware settings.

There doesn't seem to be anywhere where it tells you exactley which files to use.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Have you tried File->Export in MAX?

After that you would Open MAX on the other PC and File -> Import.

Exporting/importing from the MAX file menu is the best way to copy over configuration data from DAQmx and VISA (this includes DAQmx virtual channels).

IVI settings are not included in this import/export.  Typically IVI settings are contained in a file located at C:\Program Files\IVI\Data\IviConfigurationStore.xml. You may also find other xml files in this data folder containing settings for individual IVI drivers.  Remember that you will need to install the IVI drivers before moving the xml files over to void them being overwritten by the IVI installer.

I hope this helps and let us know if you have any more questions.
