Mass deployment

[nonecure]

The company I work for normally produces 1 custom machine at a time, but the project I working on will produce 100's of identical machines.  I will be using a cDAQ with either an Ethernet or USB connection.  In the past if I ever duplicated something, MAX had to be setup for the new chassis (unique serial number).

Is there a way to do this automatically?

Hi,

This should be possible.  Here is some documentation on loading MAX Configurations programmatically:

The MAX Configuration stores any configurations you have made in MAX, including any tasks or channels you have created.

Something else you may find useful in developing your application, is finding information about your hardware programmatically.  For instance, here is an example that can return a reference to a specific DAQ device, in this case the USB-6501:
