Error Ring Search

Overview

This right click plugin allows for right clicking an Error Ring and selecting Search, and setting the error code to an error that can be searched for.

 

Description

Right click an Error Ring, and select Search... a dialog will come up asking what error that error ring should have.  A search dialog will appear where text can be typed in.  Double click on an error for that error to be set to the error ring, as a custom error which allows for editing the text, and optionally adding additional text inputs by adding %s or %d.  I prefer this since it allows to reuse existing error codes, but add more information about what generated the error.

 

The error codes are all pulled from error code text files.  These files are in the Shared NI folder, and the LabVIEW resource folder.  This might mean you could use an error code from a toolkit unintentionally and so I added the ability to right click the error code and have a dialog come up telling you what error code text file that error was found in.

As mentioned in some of the VI descriptions, this is a continuation of the work made by pcardinale as posted here.  That work started before there was an official right click augmentation plugin available in LabVIEW.
