Status Codes
This appendix lists the status codes returned by NI-DAQ, including the
name and description.
Each NI-DAQ function returns a status code that indicates whether
the function was performed successfully. When an NI-DAQ function
returns a code that is a negative number, it means that the function did not
execute. When a positive status code is returned, it means that the function
did execute, but with a potentially serious side effect. A summary of the
status codes is listed in Table A-1.
Note
All status codes and descriptions are also listed in the NI-DAQ online help.
Table A-1.
