Inputs/Outputs

  • cpath.png XML File Path —

    XML File Path is the path and filename to which you want to write XML data.

    The filename must have a .xml extension. When you specify an empty path, a dialog box prompts the user to specify an XML file.

  • cstr.png XML Input —

    XML Input contains XML data to write to the file.

  • cstr.png XML Encoding —

    XML Encoding specifies the encoding scheme for the XML file. LabVIEW supports ANSI and Multibyte encoding schemes.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in (no error) —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • cbool.png Standalone? (T) —

    Standalone? specifies the value for the standalone attribute in the XML declaration. Standalone? determines whether the document exists entirely on its own (TRUE), or depends on other files (FALSE).

  • ipath.png XML File Path(duplicate) —

    XML File Path(duplicate) is the path of the file to which the VI writes data.

    You can use this output to determine the file path that you selected through a dialog box. XML File Path(duplicate) has a value of <Not A Path> if you cancelled the dialog box.

  • istr.png XML String —

    XML String contains the XML data that the VI writes to the specified file.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
