The Read/Write Anything VIs are designed to write to and read from disk any
complex data type in LabVIEW. These VIs provide two main benefits:
human readability (.ini format) and backwards compatibility (you change
your cluster and you can still read in any valid data from old saved
files). I've been using OpenG's "Variant Configuration File" VI's for some of my applications, but found them too slow to use for large data sets. These new VIs don't use LabVIEW's built-in configuration file VIs, and are consequently 500+ times faster. Feel free to download and try them out here or from the example in
NI Community Examples. For more information and to download them as part of a VI Package Manager package, see my
company's website.
Happy wiring!
