Filename: user_defined_error_codes.vi
Requirements: View
LabVIEW Version: 6.1
Note: To use this VI in previous versions of LabVIEW, use the File>>Save with options... feature and select Save for previous.
VIs USED:
General Error Handler VI, Bundle by Name.
METHOD:
The General Error Handler VI accepts two user-defined arrays, the User-Defined Error Codes and the User-Defined Error Descriptions. The index of the error code from the first array must match the index of the code's description in the second array.
In this VI, index 0 in the User-Defined Error Codes array contains error code number 5000. The description for error code 5000 appears in index 0 of the User-Defined Error Descriptions array.
These two components build the first and second lines of the error dialog. "Error xxxx ocurred at location yyyy, Possible Reasons: "User-Defined Description".
The components of the error cluster include code, status, and source. When status is TRUE, the VI searches for a match in the internal error code database and in the user defined array. If the VI locates a match for the error code, it also searches for the same index in the description array. The range for User-Defined Error Codes is 5000 to 9999.
Refer to the LabVIEW Help for more information on creating User-Defined Error Codes.
