I was told this can be done any one know how?

What benefits are you looking for by storing the string data in binary files?

Security is the main one, so they cant change it but I can

You don't need the config VIs, then. You can use LabVIEW's native Read from Binary File and Write to Binary File nodes to manage your files.

You can use AES (de)-cyphering to securly store your data.

Without encrypting the data anyone with a keen eye can decipher your data.
