Where Can I Find Details on IMAQ or Vision Error Codes?
Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-IMAQ
Primary Software Version: 3.5.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: LabVIEW Toolkits>>IMAQ Vision for LabVIEW, Driver Software>>NI-IMAQ for IEEE-1394
Problem: I am receiving an error from my program that includes IMAQ and Vision functions, but the error does not include a detailed description of what the error means. I can not find a lot of information about the IMAQ or Vision error codes. Where can I find more detailed information about my IMAQ or Vision errors?
Solution: For NI-IMAQ, NI-IMAQdx, NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394, and Vision you can find information about an error in the header file (or include file). You can also find a description of the error in the help documentation for NI-IMAQ, NI-IMAQdx, NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394, or Vision. Below is a list of where you can find further information about the error codes, examples of the different errors you might receive, and a range of the different error types:
