Suppress error from an instrument

[chuck72352]

I'm am using a vi to communicate with a Tek TDP oscilloscope over GPIB. The vi's that I'm using, which come with the driver for the scope, read the pulse and period of a waveform. The problem is that I call the VI in a loop several times until I get the waveform that I want. Prior to the waveform that i want being generated there is no pulse at all so the vis' return an error. I would like to completely suppress this error. That is I dont want it displayed at all. Is there an easy way to do that. If there's a way to suppress all errors for the vi that would work, however I would prefer a method that would only suppress, ie not display, one particular error.

Thanks,

Chuck

Chuck,

Look at the Clear Errors vi and see if this does what you want.

You could also unbundle the error cluster and only supress (use Clear Errors vi) those that you want to ignore.

Actually, if you only want to suppress one error, I think the best way would be to use a Simple Error Handler (Dialog and User Interface Palette).  Set the error code at the top left to the error you want to ignore and the type of dialog to 0 and it will suppress only that error.

Thanks, that works perfect.
