LV使用INI文件來存儲配置，應(yīng)用非常廣泛，生成執(zhí)行文檔后也自動生成一個INI文件。

LV主要在下列情況下使用INI文件：

存儲前面板或者前面板特定控件的默認值和當前值

存儲本次應(yīng)用的運行結(jié)果供下一次啟動是調(diào)用

存儲硬件配置文件

存儲硬件配置是非常重要的，比如一般的板卡都有16個數(shù)字輸出，外部接繼電器來控制外部設(shè)備，繼電器是比較容易損壞的，而通常16個繼電器中是有備用的，如何在不改變軟件和硬件的情況下把輸出更改到另外的繼電器上，這樣，只需要簡單地改動一下外部接線就可以了那，使用配置文件可以輕松實現(xiàn)。

INI文件結(jié)構(gòu)很簡單，裝了多操作系統(tǒng)的人都知道，WINDOWS本身有個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



我們看一下LV軟件本身也利用了INI文件來保存配置。
