I have a VI that will run tests on data files. I want the parameters that define the limits that determine whether the data has passed, to be hidden from the operator of the program but be able to be altered without recompiling the program. I was thinking create a text file and just read from the text file. I guess I would also want to password protect the file so that no one can alter the settings. Maybe there is some built in functionality that I am not aware of? Any ideas?

Create a tab that is accesible only after logging in with a password. You can change the values as required on the protected tab. There are lots of examples out there on getting a password from the user.
And defintely use the NI ini file examples to write the values out to a file.
