118 folderNotExistErr The supplied folder path does not exist.
1000 kLVE_InvalidState The VI is not in a state compatible with this operation. This error occurs if you attempt to edit a running VI or a VI reserved for running. A VI is reserved for running when you open a reference to it by wiring a type specifier to the Open VI Reference function. A VI also is reserved for running when you use the Call By Reference Node to call the VI. Close these references to the VI before you edit it.

1090 kLVE_CannotMoveBoundedObject Specified object cannot be moved.
1094 kLVE_CannotAssignTwoSubtypes Queue and notifier references of the same name must be obtained using the same data type. When you obtain a reference to a queue or notifier, you can specify what data type this mechanism stores. Future requests to obtain a reference to the same mechanism (using the mechanism's name) must wire the same data type as the original call. Unnamed mechanisms do not have this restriction, because each request to obtain an unnamed mechanism creates a new mechanism.
1095 kLVE_NoVoidSubtype This container cannot be left without a subtype. Right-click and select Replace or drag new subtype.
1096 kLVE_OpenVIRefInvalidReentrantRun Open VI Reference cannot prepare a non-reentrant VI for reentrant run.

1098 kLVE_PolyorTDWithNoDiag Cannot disconnect type definitions or polymorphic VIs if the block diagram is not available.
1100 kLVE_NoReferenceObtained No object of that name was found. No reference could be returned. You can use Obtain Queue or Obtain Notifier to look up a queue or notifier by name. If create if not found? is FALSE and a queue or notifier with that name was not found, LabVIEW returns this error.
1101 kLVE_DataSocketAccessDenied Insufficient privileges to read, write, or create an item in the DataSocket Server.
1102 kLVE_UnwiredInputTerm The string input terminal is unwired.
1103 kLVE_UnrecognizedTypeTag The XML tag describing the type of data is not recognized.
1104 kLVE_NoEndTag No end tag was found for an XML start/end tag pair.
1105 kLVE_UnknownTag An unknown or unexpected XML tag was discovered.
1106 kLVE_IncorrectTypeTag The XML tag describing the type of data does not match the wired type.
1107 kLVE_UnmatchedEnumEntry The XML enumerated type choice(s) does not match the wired type.
1108 kLVE_BadValueText XML value text is illegal or out of range for type and/or format.
1109 kLVE_UnknownType Unsupported data type.
1110 kLVE_UnwiredOutputTerm No longer used.
1111 KLVE_ReleaseSemaphoreTwice Release Semaphore called on a semaphore that was not currently acquired.
1122 kLVE_RefnumDestroyedDuringWait Refnum became invalid while node waited for it.
1123 kLVE_ObjCannotBeCreatedInAppLibs You cannot create an object (such as control caption) in built applications. You must create these objects in the LabVIEW development system.
1124 kLVE_VINotLoadable VI is not loadable.
1125 kLVE_VersIsFutureErr VI version is later than the current LabVIEW version.
1126 kLVE_VersTooOldErr VI version is too early to convert to the current LabVIEW version.
1127 kLVE_CannotInstantiateTemplate Cannot instantiate template VI because it is already in memory.
1128 kLVE_IncompatibleUnit Input unit is not compatible with the current unit.
1129 kLVE_SparseRingDuplicateValues You cannot assign the same value to two or more strings in a ring or combo box control.
1131 kLVE_NotSupportedInDialogControl Refnum became invalid while node waited for it. You cannot use this property with this dialog control.
1135 kLVE_TreeInvalidActiveNode The tree control's active item is not valid for this property.
1136 kLVE_TreeInvalidTag You wired an invalid item tag to a tree control property or method.
1137 kLVE_TreeInsane Tree control's internal data is corrupt.
1138 kLVE_ExtCodeException An exception occurred within external code called by LabVIEW. This might have corrupted LabVIEW's memory. Save any work to a new location and restart LabVIEW.
1144 kLVE_FrontPanelAlreadyOpen Cannot insert VI in a subpanel control because VI is already open.
1145 kLVE_FrontPanelInSubPanel Cannot open VI because it is already in a subpanel control.
1146 kLVE_TreeLeafOnlyError You attempted an operation that would change a child-only item into a parent item.
1147 kLVE_SubPanelCantInsertRemoteVI Cannot insert a remote VI in a subpanel control.
1148 kLVE_PropertyReadOnlyInSubPanel This property is read only while the VI is in a subpanel.
1149 kLVE_FPMustAlreadyBeOpen Cannot close or set the state of a closed front panel. The front panel must already be open before you close it or set its state.
1150 kLVE_CannotOpenFPAlreadyOpen Cannot open a front panel that is already open. To set the state of the open front panel, use the Front Panel Window:State property.
1151 kLVE_InvalidFPStateInput Invalid input for front panel state.
1156 kLVE_DataReadFilledMemory Memory full error, possibly due to a data format not matching expected data type. This is caused by trying to allocate a buffer that is too large for memory. Although normal allocation might run the system out of memory, frequently an out of memory error is caused by interpreting the data incorrectly and treating something that is data as the size of the data. Before assuming that the system needs more memory to complete the operation, make sure the read format you are requesting is valid for the data being read.
1157 kLVE_NotAvailForIndicator You cannot use this property with a numeric indicator.
1174 kLVE_CallLibRetParmErr Invalid return parameter for Call Library Function Node. The return type must be Void, Numeric, or String. Numeric return types are passed by value. Strings return types are passed as a C String Pointer or a Pascal String Pointer.
1175 kLVE_CallLibArrayDimsErr Invalid array dimension in Call Library Function Node configuration. An array must have 1 or more dimensions.
1176 kLVE_CallLibWFormDimsErr Invalid waveform dimension in Call Library Function Node configuration. A waveform must have 0 or 1 dimensions.
1177 kLVE_CallLibVoidParmTypeErr Invalid data type for Call Library Function Node parameter. Void can be used only as return type of function.
1186 kLVE_CannotChangeLabelVisibility Cannot show or hide the label on its own. Label visibility is controlled by the label owner.
1187 kLVE_INTERNET_EXPLORER_NOT_FOUND Internet Explorer is required for this operation but it is not installed.
1188 kLVE_StatVIRefNotConfigured The Static VI Reference function is not configured.
1190 kLVE_NotAllowedWithKeyFocus The operation is not allowed when the control has key focus.
1191 kLVE_WireAlreadyHasProbe The wire already has a probe on it.
1192 kLVE_NoDataRangeForDigDisp No data range set for digital displays.
1193 kLVE_CannotAccessLatchBooleanValue When a Boolean control has a latch mechanical action, you cannot use the Value property to read or write its value.
1194 kLVE_DIAdemNotInstalled This Express VI requires DIAdem 8.1 or later and the LabVIEW DIAdem Connectivity VIs version 2.1 or later. The Connectivity VIs are available for free download from ni.com.
1196 kLVE_NoDuplicatesInGrowTermList Cannot list the same terminal more than once in the grown region of the expandable subVI.
1197 kLVE_StatVIRefInvalidOp This operation is not valid for static VI references. To run a VI using a static VI reference, use an Invoke Node to call the Run VI method.
1198 kLVE_StatVIRefInvalidState The VI is not in a state compatible with this operation. Please change the execution mode of the referenced VI to reentrant for this operation.
1307 kLVE_SubPanelCantOpenWindow Subpanel control could not open the VI window. You tried to insert a VI into a subpanel control, but the front panel or block diagram window you want to insert does not exist.
1313 kLVE_NotSupportedInRadioButtonsControl You cannot use this property on a control in a radio buttons control.
1314 kLVE_NotValidForAutoUpdatingTypedef You cannot use this property on an instance of a type definition set to update automatically from the master copy of the type definition.
1319 kLVE_SubPanelCantInsertIfNotRunning Cannot insert a VI into a subpanel that is not in a running state.
