possible bug?
Dear Madam, Dear Sir,
When I make a labWindows/CVI project with
this file (flexmotion example initialize.c)
and I execute it I get the following error:
"61060 Unknown Error
This is an unknown NI-Motion error. Please
contact National Instruments."
However, if I change the error handle code
from:
"void ErrorHandler(u16 errorCode, u16
commandID, u16 resourceID)"
to:
"void ErrorHandler(i32 errorCode, u16
commandID, u16 resourceID)"
and if I remove the type casting from line
547 from:
"ErrorHandler ((u16)status, 0, 0);"
to:
"ErrorHandler (status, 0, 0);"
then I get the following error upon
executing the program:
-70012 (NIMC_badboradIDError)
Illegal board Id. ...
This seems to be the correct error message.
For clarity's sake, the fact that I get the
error was expected, because I executed the
code on a computer without a motion
controller. But I think there is a bug in
the way the errors are handled. So I
suggest that the code is revised.
Kind Regards,
Johan Verschraegen
