INI files and cRIO

[superslug]

This is probably a stupid question but is there any way to store and load values from a config file on a cRIO?

thanks,

Same way you do on Windows. The standard file functions work normally on the cRIO using Windows-style paths; the internal flash drive is C:.

Hi Benard

Yes you can certainly do that.

The Native LabVIEW Config API works as well as LabVIEW XML, there are also some 3rd party API's too

I find file io speeds can vary on the embedded targets between options so you may want to do some benchmarking?

JG,

the XML palette doesn't appear for Real-time targets in my LabVIEW projects.

Did is miss something? I would love to use the build in XML parser without using 3rd party products.

We use un/flatten to XML a bit - but its more to convert a e.g. class/cluster from disk and e.g. load it into the application.

However, yes, I am guessing that the Xpath functions would not be available on Real Time.

You can also use the GXML libraries.

But as jgcode mentioned, you should benchmark first because they can really hit your cpu pretty hard.

Good post

We have tried these out on a recent project too.
