How can I change the message for an error and then cancel it

[Somnatic]

Hi everyone.

I am currently developing an application where I have to use a trigger (DAQmx). Now it can happen, that the user (who will operate the device later on) can activate the trigger without a valid source. After a timeout, he will get a quite strange message stating he either might want to wait longer (Error -200284 occurred at DAQmx Read). I would like to redefine this error.

So if this error number appears, he should get a message saying: "Your request couldn't be executed, since no valid trigger signal was found".

How would I do this .. Thanks for help 🙂

Hi Somnatic

There are different ways. As you describe it, you'd like to cancel the occuring error (-200284) and show another message. I attach a vi with a view ways.

Hope this helps.
