Exporting the Hardware Configuration of a Target

If the SystemDesigner view you have open contains more than one target, select the target whose hardware configuration you want to export.
Note In the Live view, the only supported system is This Computer.
- Select or deselect the hardware configuration you need to include for your project and click OK.
- Select the location to save the NI Hardware Configuration file on your local machine and click OK.
- Navigate to where you saved the NI Hardware Configuration file and send a copy of it to the system that will use it.
Note To successfully import hardware dependencies, verify the appropriate drivers and NI System Configuration are installed.
