Device Mapping Behavior
When exporting and importing configurations between NI‑SCOPE sessions that were both initialized with multiple instruments, the configurations of the exporting instruments are mapped to the importing instruments in the order you specify in the resource name input to the niScope Initialize With Options or niScope Initialize VIs.
For example, if your entry for resource name is PXI1Slot1,PXI1Slot2 for the exporting session and PXI2Slot2,PXI2Slot3 for the importing session:
- The configuration exported from PXI1Slot1 is imported into PXI2Slot2.
- The configuration exported from PXI1Slot2 is imported into PXI2Slot3.
