Displaying errors when Enable automatic error handling option is on

[MimiKLM]

In order to display error messages do I need general or simple error handler to implement if I have Enable automatic error handling on?

Both will (optionally) display a popup when an error occurs. The general error handler just has more options for special cases. The simple error handler is typically sufficient.

If you havce automatic error handing enabled, you'll get a popup whenever a function generates an error AND the error output is not wired. Once you wire an error handler, the automatic error handling will no longer occur.

To display an error, you can also just place a plain error indicator on the front panel. This avoids annoying popup messages.
