How to add sound to the general error handler

[Bill_Simmons]

I'm looking for an easy way to create an audible indication (a beep or something) when the general error handler displays an error message.  Anyone have any suggestions??

Hi Bill,

make a shell vi containing the error handler and an additional "Beep" function. Et voila...

Bill,

Run the error wire to the selector terminal of a case structure (which then becomes an error/no error structure), wire the error wire straight through both case, and connect to the General Error Handler.  In the Error case put the Beep.vi

Hi Bill,

I thought this was an interesting idea, so I wrote up the code and posted it on the NI Community here: Simple Error Handler with Beep.  If you have any cool VIs that you'd like to share, you can post them on the community as well to share them with others.  Thanks!
