 |
error in (no error) describes the error status 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
occurred 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 or function ran or FALSE
(checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran.
The default is FALSE.

TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty
string.

edge detection, the Calibration Valid Boolean is FALSE.

error out contains error information. If error in
indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error

shortcut menu for more information about the error.
