Read data from INI file Using LabVIEW

[TobyHex]

Overview

This VI reads different types of data from an .ini file

Description

The INI file format is an informal standard for configurations files for some platforms or software. INI files are simple text files with a basic structure composed of sections, properties and values. The name "INI file" comes from the commonly used filename extension .INI, which stands for "initialization". 

This VI opens an INI file, which its path is provided by the user using the Configuration File Path control, and reads multiple types of data types from the file- Boolean, Integer and string

Requirements

LabVIEW Full Development System 2012 or compatible

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

     1.Browse to the test.ini file location on your disk, and provide it to the Configuration File Path control

     2. Run the VI

     Notice that the indicators now reflect the information from within test.ini file
