Overview
Demonstrates how to use the Call Chain function to create LabVIEW Error Source information of the Calling VI.

 

Description

When using the error cluster to return errors in your subVIs, it is common to use the Error Source string to return the call chain.  The Call Chain function in LabVIEW is helpful for finding this, however it returns an array of strings where each subsequent string is the caller of the previous VI.  This VI can be used in place of this to return a single string with the Call Chain information in the normal LabVIEW Error Source style.

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

  1. Run the Caller VI
  2. The "Caller VI" calls a subVI which generates and formats the Error Source information.
