Where Can I Find Details on IMAQ or Vision Error Codes?

Issue Details

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

You can find basic information on any LabVIEW error by going to Help»Explain Error... Entering an error code will return the message that goes with this error.

For NI-IMAQ, NI-IMAQdx, NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394, and Vision you can also 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. There are also Knowledge articles on the NI website that you can find by searching for your error code at ni.com. 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:
