control.xml

In the control folder there are in general two files: control.xml and persistence.bin. The control.xml contains control parameters which can be adjusted by the user either by directly editing control.xml or via Motorcortex Desk.

persistence.bin

The persistence.bin contains the values of parameters that are defined to be of type PARAMETER_PERSISTENT in your application. These parameters are continually saved during system operations, for instance a parameter that counts running hours of a system, that continues counting also after the system has been switched off; or if a system has relative encoders, their absolute values are continually saved, such that after a restart calibration is not required.
