RuntimeErrorAction (Data Acquisition Toolbox)

Specify the M-file action function to execute when a run-time error occurs

Description

A run-time error event is generated immediately after a run-time error occurs. This event executes the action function specified for RuntimeErrorAction. Additionally, a toolbox error message is automatically displayed to the MATLAB workspace. If an error occurs that is not explicitly handled by the toolbox, then the hardware-specific error message is displayed.

The default value for RunTimeErrorAction is daqaction, which displays the event type, the time the event occurred, and the device object name along with the error message.

Run-time error event information is stored in the Type and Data fields of the EventLog property. The Type field value is Error. The Data field values are given below.

Data Field Value
Description

AbsTime
The absolute time (as a clock vector) the event occurred.

RelSample
The acquired (AI) or output (AO) sample number when the event occurred.

String
The descriptive error message.
