Owning Palette: Cookie VIs
Installed With: Internet Toolkit
Returns the value that corresponds with a key identifier in a cookie entry.

![]() |
cookie specifies the cookie from which you want the VI to extract data. | ||||||
![]() |
key is a string that identifies the entry you want the VI to retrieve. | ||||||
![]() |
default value contains the value the VI returns if the entry you specify in the key input does not exist. | ||||||
![]() |
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 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 exception control to treat what is normally an error as no error or to treat a warning as an error.
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.
| ||||||
![]() |
cookie out returns the same value as cookie. | ||||||
![]() |
value contains the value of the entry or the default value if the entry does not exist. | ||||||
![]() |
valid key returns TRUE if the cookie entry that the key input specifies exists. | ||||||
![]() |
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 front panel indicator and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
