Overview
Coding that exemplifies how to save and load the values of the controls in the Front Panel in a file.
Description
This VI allows the user to save the current value of the controls in his Front Panel and load them at the beginning of the next time he runs his VI. This can be used in a wide variety of applications which requires us to continue testing after some time of inactivity and the control values are not static.
Requirements
LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1. Be sure that the uno.dat is in the same folder as the VI
2. Run the VI
3. Change the control Values
4. Select the button to update the values in the file
5. Stop the code
6. Erase all the values in the Front Panel
7. Run the VI again
8. Verify that the values are updated
9. Stop the application

Interesting example - I wouldn't have thought of using a binary format for saving mixed data types like this.
