I have two Windows laptops - each configured to respective boats (different lengths, different instrument config, different polars, sail charts, marks, race notes but same display states, etc, etc) - both interfacing with H5000 via websocket and one using an Actisense via USB port to get data out and into the Garmin jumbos. The Instrument Configurations are quite complex.
I want to swap the laptops (or indeed use one of them on both boats).
I understand that the 'User Config' files can transfer the display state as well as simple stuff like boat length, etc.
However is there a 'config file' that holds the Instrument connection setup that I can simply save centrally and load to swap laptops or move a laptop from boat to boat (and back)?
Your advice is always timely and useful.

You could export the settings, although they also contain display states etc that may be different.

Nic - many thanks.
I actually have the same display states on both laptop - so that's OK.
So how do I export the settings? (I assume that will copy the Instrument connection details?)

Export settings on the menu at the top left

OK - understood.
Can you explain how they are then loaded?
I assume you have to edit the WIndows Registry files - above my pay grade

Simply open the .reg file and it will write to the registry.
