I want to make my input values (control values) to stay after you close the VI. So next time you open it up, you will have the same values already stated. Is this possible??
You could go about doing this in two ways. 1.You write all the states in a file and read it before you enter your program. 2.You can make use of the VI property ,"save current states as default " in the end of the program before you exit,so that the next time you come in it will be reflected. cheers vicky
Before your test software quit & exit, get all "Controls" values/statuses, either by its properties node or local variable, save them to a file i.e. Configuration File VIs (for instance, status.ini)
The next time you invoke the test software again, open the status.ini file and retrieve all the status and set all the controls.
Hope this is still clear as I am at the Friday evening mood 😛
Another possibility is to paste an invoke node on your block diagram, select the VI class, select methods Get Control Value or Get All Control Values and save the output to a file before closing the front panel. On front panel open, read back your file and use Set Control Value or Set All Control Values.

I tried to do like you showed me, but I got problems. I got error code: 1073 occurred at Invoke Node in jula.vi
Possible reasons(s): Labview: This property is writable only when the VI is in edit mode, or this method is available only when the VI is in edit mode.
Make Current Values Default writes the necessary data into the VI itself, so the VI must be modifiable. This is impossible, e.g., when the application is compiled into an exe file.
