labview编程技巧-----labview与INI文件

LV使用INI文件来存储配置，应用非常广泛，生成执行文档后也自动生成一个INI文件。

LV主要在下列情况下使用INI文件：

存储前面板或者前面板特定控件的默认值和当前值

存储本次应用的运行结果供下一次启动是调用

存储硬件配置文件

存储硬件配置是非常重要的，比如一般的板卡都有16个数字输出，外部接继电器来控制外部设备，继电器是比较容易损坏的，而通常16个继电器中是有备用的，如何在不改变软件和硬件的情况下把输出更改到另外的继电器上，这样，只需要简单地改动一下外部接线就可以了那，使用配置文件可以轻松实现。

INI文件结构很简单，装了多操作系统的人都知道，WINDOWS本身有个BOOT.INI

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect



我们看一下LV软件本身也利用了INI文件来保存配置。
