Creates a report to document a local or remote system. Reports can be generated in three formats: XML, HTML, and technical support reports.
Both HTML and XML formats provide readable reports. The XML format makes archiving and comparing reports convenient with a configuration management tool. The technical support format generates a ZIP file containing reports that are useful if you need to contact NI Technical Support. The level of support for this VI depends on each device's driver software. This function provides a one-way export only. You cannot import the XML-based report into MAX.
