Error code XML file

[Jim_Glanz]

When I use a custom error file xxx-errors.txt.How do I get the general error handler to choose the codes from this specific file?

I am not clear on what tells the vi to use this file.

Thanks

The file has to be in user.lib/errors.  Also you have to restart LabVIEW after creating or changing the file.

Still a bit lost

If I had two error file File1.errors.txt and File2.errors.txt both in the user lib.

File 1 defines error code 5000 as a general fault

File 2 defines error code 5000 as communications lost

I want the VI to use the error code from file 2 "Communications lost"

How does labview know which file I wan't to use.

Thanks

All error files are loaded. If you have a duplicate code, both will be listed as possible reasons.
