Creating Custom Error Messages in LabVIEW

[Michael-B]

Overview

This simple code demonstrates how you can programmatically redefine the error number in your error cluster and then how you can display your own custom message based on that number.

Description

Sometimes it is useful to have LabVIEW generate your own custom error message.  For example, you might not want your user to see LabVIEW's default message for Error 7.  Instead, you might want to deliver a more specific message to your user like "Please enter a valid file path." 

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012(or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Define your preferred value for the "Use Custom Message?" boolean.
2. Enter your preferred error message.
3. Run the VI.
