Clear Errors Polymorphic Inputs

[Hooovahh]

In 2014 the Clear errors VI now accepts a single error which can be cleared.  This is nice but when I heard NI was implementing their own filter errors, I assumed they would do it in a similar way to the OpenG Filter Errors VI, which accepts a scalar, or an array of error codes to filter.

In addition to this I think it would be helpful if this Clear Errors also accepts the error data type for errors to filter, or an array of errors to filter.  That way the Error Ring can be used to help readability of the block diagram showing the error that is being cleared.

I'd rather use search 1D array than a For Loop

Jeff K recently made a post about VI Macros (.vim files) and I thought they would be a pretty good fix for this problem.  I saved the attached .vim file in user.lib/macros.

It only allows for numeric scalars or arrays to be used as input but the idea could be improved.

Jacobson:

I wouldn't endorse anything that injected that much overhead into my code for so simple an operation. A simple PolyVI will more than suffice to answer Hooovahh's request. No need to mess around with unreleased features or variants or run-time type testing.
