Exporting Project Settings to XML

You can export the configuration settings of a LabVIEW SignalExpress project to an XML file. You can use the XML file as a record of the project configuration at the time you export the settings. Select File»Export»Export Project Settings To XML to export the current configuration settings of a project to an XML file. You can view the XML file in any text or XML editor.

The XML file displays all the steps in the project, the values of every parameter in those steps, and lists any environment elements, such as tabs, work areas, and active logs, that LabVIEW SignalExpress has loaded at the time you export the project settings. LabVIEW SignalExpress formats the data in the XML file so you easily can identify the value(s), name(s), and type(s) of the data from the tags that describe the data. The XML file is for record-keeping purposes only. You cannot use the XML file to import project settings to LabVIEW SignalExpress.

Note  The XML file displays values for every parameter of every step in the project, including parameters that you are not using or that are not currently visible. For example, some parameters appear on the Step Setup tab only when you configure a step in a particular way. However, the XML file still records values for these parameters. If you have not specified a value for a parameter, the XML file displays the default value.

When you export project settings to XML, the XML file does not include signal data such as step output values. You can use shortcut menu options or the Save to ASCII/LVM step to save output or logged data to a file.
