Explain Error in Teststand like LabVIEW

Status: Declined

I'm declining this due to lack of community support.

I didn't see this suggestion yet, but could we add the explain error feature in TestStand that is available in LabVIEW under Help » Explain Error...?

This may not be quite what your after, and I'm yet to try it out, but I found it when I was looking for something similar.

The error codes in LabVIEW and TestStand are handled much differently.  In LabVIEW, there is a unique error code for any error that might occur.  In TestStand, all errors are classified based on groups.  The error codes in TestStand refer to a type of error.  The error message that is returned with each error gives specific information based on what actually is wrong.  The error codes in TestStand are not entirely that useful in themselves and any information used to lookup the error codes would only get you a very general class of error.  To get the most specific information you would need the error message.  However, if you have the error message, there is nothing to look up, since it gives you the entire error message.  I'm not sure this feature would be terribly useful due to the general nature of Teststand error codes.
