# Export and Import

The export and import function is used to export the events and tightening results accessible in the Results menu for analysis in external programs, as well as allowing transfer of tightening program, batch, and controller configurations between controllers.

The command Export can be used for the following reasons:

- Exporting tightening results and events for further processing.

- Exporting log files for debug assistance from an Atlas Copco service engineer.

- Exporting the entire controller configuration that can be used to copy the configuration to another controller.

- Comparing two exported configurations to see differences.
