Import NI MAX Configuration file (*nce) programmaticaly

[cedric84]

Hello all,

I want to import a NI MAX configuration file (*.nce file) programmatically. I know that there is a Labview VI that exists (import.vi under Measurement I/O.System Configuration) but I want to do it directly in TestStand or by using a C# dll.

I tried to use the nisyscfg.dll directly in TestStand with the C/C++ adapter but TestStand returns the following error:

Any ideas about how to programmatically import a NI MAX configuration file (*.nce file) via TestStand or C# dll ?

Thanks,

You should be able to include the MAX configuration in the TestStand deployment by following the instructions in the manual linked below.

You should also be able to export the MAX configuration file without using LabVIEW by following the instructions on the knowledgebase article linked below.
