This module is available in beta form now at https://github.com/LabVIEW-DCAF/dds

I would prefer that the configuration file existed in some form that is easily diff-able. If you have any sort of code review, process, using the current configuration file is not nessecarily easy.

It's currently an xml file with serialized class data.  Is there a particular other format that would contain the same information but be easier for your process to work with?

[KeenanJohnson]

I would prefer that the config contain only the source "config" information, and the entire serialized class.

For instance, if I change which channels are logged in the TDMS module, I want the review to be able to just diff a file and see the changes in channels. However, because the entire class is serialized, there is a lot of extraneous data, that doesn't contain line breaks, making it incredibly difficult to verify.
