Read settings/configurations from file

[hkhiroya]

Hi,

I am developing a program that reads from several thermocouples. The reading can then changed by an offset and gain factor.  What I want to achieve is once the user has calibrated the sensors he can click on a save button to save those offset and gain values to a file. The next time the program is launched it reads the file for the calibration values (so the user does not have to calibrate them all the time). 

How is the best way of doing this in LabView

regards

Harshil.

Hi, You can use "Configuration File VIs" located under the File I/O palette. There should also be some examples comeing with LabVIEW, just use the Example Finder. Christian

I also enjoy using the OpenG Variant Configuration File VIs Read and Write Ini File VIs.  The Write/Read Panel to/from INI VIs look interesting, too, but I've never used them.  I use the others all the time.
