Termination Monitor should throw error in LV when created too often

Status: Declined

Declining this idea due to lack of interest from the community.

I just had an issue (SRQ#1672094 - for NI employees who want to look it up) where I tried to open a termination monitor in a sub VI which was called in a VI that already had an termination monitor running. The whole thing seemed to run properly until the second termination monitor was about to be closed. It threw an error telling me that I was playing around with an invalid reference. I was a bit confused...

The issue was solved by NI hotline in a short time - as usual: It's not possible to have several termination monitors running in this constellation and I should forward the open monitor into the subVI and use it there.

 

I wonder whether it is possible that an error message is thrown when one tries to open a redundant termination monitor. Even if LabView can't know, TestStand should be able to and respond accordingly if the function is called. It would make debugging easier.
