"Porting" DAQ Assistant onto another PC

[Clint1000]

When you use DAQ Assistance to create a task to read temp do you need to do anything ...save any configurations like in MAX..when you port the exe file over to another machine??   Or are the config settings ( thermocouple type) save in the vi itself??

Most settings are buried in the DAQ assistant itself.  One thing you do need to check is whether the DAQ device is named the same way on the second PC as it is the first.  If it is Dev0 in the first PC, but the device is named Dev3 (for example) on the second, you'll wind up with errors.  You would either need to rename your devices in MAX, or reopen the DAQ Assistant and connect it to the device and channel you want to use on the new PC.

Thanks..the whole thing that started this is the (PC#1) exe file reads 70 deg F and the develope machince (PC#2) reads 80 F.  I thought maybe the configuration wasn't being carried over from the dev machine to the exe machine.  In MAX (PC#1) he has a tasked named "voltage1" on ai1 and when I look at the properties for the temp measure on the develope ( PC#2) ..right click on the DAQ Assitant > properties..he has ai1 setup for temperature..Type J ( I think these are default) ..etc.  Are these conflicting each other??  DAQ Assit has it setup for temp and MAX has it setup for a voltage measurement ??

One suggestion I'd give is to export your MAX settings on one PC, and import them on the other.  This should copy along the device names, channel names, tasks, scales, and any other settings stored in MAX.  When building an installer you can even have the installer import these settings during the install.  Of course there are limitations and issues but for simple DAQ setups it can be nice to just run an installer on a fresh machine and have it start working.
