Complete the following steps on the development system to export the configuration files necessary to deploy an Switch Executive virtual device:

  1. Export the Switch Executive virtual device configuration file. If you are exporting a virtual device to a .nce file, skip steps 2 and 3.
  2. Export the DAQmx configuration file if the Switch Executive virtual device you are deploying uses DAQmx switches.
    1. Launch Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).
    2. Export the DAQmx configuration file using the Export Configuration Wizard in MAX. Refer to the Importing and Exporting Configurations topic of the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for NI-DAQmx for more information by navigating in MAX to Help»Help Topics»NI-DAQmx»MAX Help for NI-DAQmx.
  3. (Optional) Copy the IVI configuration file from the development system to the target system if you are using IVI devices.
    • (IVI Compliance Package 3.2 or higher) IVIConfigurationStore.xml, the IVI configuration file, is installed at Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IVI Foundation\IVI.
    • (IVI Compliance Package 2.0 to 3.1) IVIConfigurationStore.xml, the IVI configuration file, is installed at Program Files\IVI\Data.
    • (IVI Compliance Package 1.x) IVI.ini, the IVI configuration file, is installed at VXIPNP\WINNT[WIN95]\niivi.
    Note The IVI configuration file contains IVI Driver Sessions and IVI Logical Names. Because IVI Driver Sessions and IVI Logical Names must match between the development and target deployment systems, copy this file to the exact directory location on the target system as where it was installed in the development system.
