How to export a VISA resource from one PC to another one?

[IEE_newsoft]

When creating a new non-P'n'P VISA resource for a device, I'm using the resource creation wizard from MAX.

After a new resource has been created and registered, I can address it with my PC with the respective device descriptor. But when I connect the respective device to another PC, using the same device descriptor fails as the resource is not known there.

Is there an elegant way to export a VISA resource to another PC (e.g. as an *.inf file) or where the resources are stored, how to register them within a Windows system?

Or do I really have to install MAX onto each of the target PCs and manually re-execute the resource creation process on each of them?

Thanx in advance for each advice 😉

Regards

One possible way is to export your resource description from MAX in the first PC (launch the export wizard with File >> Export and select in the process the item(s) you want); the exported file can be imported in MAX in the second PC. I never tried this process with a VISA resource but I don't see why it would not work.

I see there are alto options for exporting in .ini and .txt format, but I don't know if these formats offer the abitily to handle the resource in the new PC without installing MAX there.
