# Exporting "Settings and Configurations"

It is possible to export only controller configurations and settings.

The exported data are stored in a compressed file identified with the IAM name and exported date and time.
The data in the file include all configurations and settings of the controller, so that the export file can be imported and setup another controller with the same or newer release version.
The exported data include information about the IAM and Controller, and also pre-formatted Multistep Tightening and Loosening programs to be used with the MID2500 solution.

## How to Export "Settings and Configurations"

1. On the Home view, select the Controller Tab. Then, on the left side, select the Export/Import Tab .

2. In the Export window, open the drop-down menu and select Settings and configurations.

3. In the Export window, select Export.
   At the end of the exporting process, an exporting pop-up window confirms that the export is done.
   A PFExport_<IAM name>_<datetime>.tar.gz file is automatically downloaded.
