The invention discloses a display method of configuration software. The method comprises the following steps: step 1, fetching port resources information of a device, encapsulating the port resources information into a device drive program, and compiling a device description file; step 2, importing the device drive program and the device description file into the configuration software, and instancing the device drive program in the form of a control; step 3, selecting port resources that need to be associated, completing the setting of associate attributes of the device, and generating device port information synchronously near the control to visually descript the association relation between the control and the device; and step 4, obtaining device port data according to information of the device description file, and transmitting the device port data to the control for displaying. The invention has the advantages that the display strategy can be changed flexibly, the memory consumption can be reduced, the user operation can be simplified, and the development cycle can be shortened.
