Select Tools»Advanced»Edit Error Codes to display this dialog box.

Use this dialog box to create or edit a filename-errors.txt file for custom error codes between the range of 5000 through 9999.

This dialog box includes the following components:

• File name—Displays the path and filename of the error codes file you are editing. If you select File»Save, LabVIEW saves the current file to the displayed location, overwriting any existing file.
• Unsaved Changes?—Switches to TRUE if you have made changes and not saved the error code text file.
• Comments about this file—Enter comments into this text box about the error code text file. LabVIEW places text you type here within <nicomment></nicomment> tags at the top of the error code text file. LabVIEW ignores the text within these tags.
• Error Code—Displays currently defined error codes. Select an error code from this list to edit or delete.
• Error Text—Displays text for the selected error code. Enter text for the selected error code in this text box. The text you enter here appears in the Explain Error dialog box and the message output of the General Error Handler VI.
• Add—Click this button to launch the Add Error Code dialog box to add a new error code and description to the error code text file.
• Delete—Click to launch the Delete Error Code(s) dialog box to delete one or more error codes from the error code text file.

Use <B> and </B> tags around any text in the description you want to format as bold.
