NI MAX - Device shows twice with one greyed out

Hi all

 

On a new setup I installed MAX and imported a configuration across which as all my devices and channels in. I then plugged in my cDAQ and it showed up a second time, but greyed out. 

 

They both report the same IP and serial number.

 

The original one that I imported seems to work fine, but this ghosted one is just there, annoying me. I can't add the device because its got the same IP address and serial number. 

 

Why doesn't MAX simply recognise the device as the same one that has been imported in the nce file?

 

I tried to get rid of it by starting fresh, plugging the device in, then re-importing the nce file with my channels, but I can't do that because of the IP conflict. Its leaving me confused at how you transfer a configuration between computers without having to manually input all the channels and scales again.

 

Screen shot attached.

 

Edited to add, I did reset the configuration before importing the nce file. But again, when plugging the device in it shows as an extra device despite being the same device!

Hey Alex,

 

What does your Device Manager show? Are there two devices in there too, or only in MAX?

Can we interact with the greyed out device at all (e.g. delete)?

 

Cheers,

Nick
