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

thefunction 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 TableA-1.

Note All status codes and descriptions are also listed in the NI-DAQ online help.
