Issue Details

I'm trying to load configuration data into my VI with the Open Config Data VI, and I'm getting this error:

Solution

This error occurs when the configuration file you're trying to open cannot be found or created. The following steps will help resolve this error:
  • Set create file if necessary to true if you would like LabVIEW to create the file if it does not already exist.
  • Ensure the file name and file format are exactly the same as the file name and file format in the error pop-up. This VI looks for a .ini file format.
