File Path is the complete pathname, including drive, directory, and filename, of the file to read.

IMAQ OCR Session specifies the OCR session on which this VI operates. To create a session, use the IMAQ OCR Create Session VI.

Append To Character Set? (F) specifies whether to append trained characters to the existing character set or replace the existing character set. The characters you append to or copy over the existing character set are those in the character set file you specified in File Path. Set this value to FALSE to replace the existing character set. Set this value to TRUE to append trained characters to the existing character set. The default is FALSE.

Read Options specifies what to read from the file. You can choose from the following values:

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

IMAQ OCR Session (dup) is the reference to the OCR session to which this VI operates.

Character Set Description describes the character set.

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 nonzero 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.
