    Hi Chris

    You can copy your profile XML file over from your old PC to your new one, but you still might have to retune your motors.

    you could for reference go into the original config screens and print a copy of them just in case the xml didn't configure correctly, at least then you would have a record of each setting.

    You can print your XML file off and yes it will set all your I/O inc your motor pin config.

    It's already been done

    Goto software, downloads, MachProfile

    It lets you backup, and even compare two profiles.

    He makes the best Mach screen designer. MachScreen

    Also a very good video plugin.
