niSwitch Error Message

NI-SWITCH LabVIEW

niSwitch Error Message

Converts an error code returned by NI-SWITCH into a user-readable string. Generally this information is supplied in error out of any NI-SWITCH VI. Use this VI for a static lookup of an error code description.

instrument handle identifies a particular NI-SWITCH session established with niSwitch Initialize With Topology, niSwitch Initialize With Options, or niSwitch Initialize.

error code is the status code returned by any NI-SWITCH VI.

Default value: 0

error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurs before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI ran. The default is FALSE.
code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a non-zero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
instrument handle out identifies a particular NI-SWITCH session established with niSwitch Initialize With Topology, niSwitch Initialize With Options, or niSwitch Initialize and used for all subsequent NI-SWITCH calls.
error message& is the error information formatted into a string.
error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.
code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a non-zero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.
