Retrieves a data packet sent by a remote IrDA device. Palm OS stores each packet a remote IrDA device beams in the lvdata.lbv database file. You can remove all packets manually by deleting lvdata.lbv using the Palm OS Delete menu. Details Example

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 PDA Error Handler VI 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.

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.

![]() | Note This VI and the PDA Beam Send VI are incompatible with the IrDA functions. Using this VI or the PDA Beam Send VI with other IrDA functions causes Palm OS to return an error. |
Refer to the PDA Beam Retrieve String VI in the labview\examples\PDA\pdacomm\PDABeam.llb for an example of using the PDA Beam Receive VI.
