4.4 - Errorcodes [U3 Datasheet]

UD Errorcodes

All functions return an LJ_ERROR error code as listed in the following tables.

Table 4.4-2. Group Level Error Codes

Errorcode Name Description
1000 LJE_MIN_GROUP_ERROR Errors above this number stop all requests.
1001 LJE_UNKNOWN_ERROR Unrecognized error that is caught.
1002 LJE_INVALID_DEVICE_TYPE  
1003 LJE_INVALID_HANDLE  
1004 LJE_DEVICE_NOT_OPEN AddRequest() called even thought Open() failed.
1005 LJE_NO_DATA_AVAILABLE GetResult() call without calling a Go function, or a channel is passed that was not in the request list.
1006 LJE_NO_MORE_DATA_AVAILABLE  
1007 LJE_LABJACK_NOT_FOUND LabJack not found at the given ID or address.
1008 LJE_COMM_FAILURE Unable to send or receive the correct number of bytes.
1009 LJE_CHECKSUM_ERROR
1010 LJE_DEVICE_ALREADY_OPEN USB connection in use by another process.
1011 LJE_COMM_TIMEOUT
1012 LJE_USB_DRIVER_NOT_FOUND
1013 LJE_INVALID_CONNECTION_TYPE
1014 LJE_INVALID_MODE
1015 LJE_DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED Previously open device is no longer connected.

Table 4.4-1 lists the errors which are specific to a request. For example, LJE_INVALID_CHANNEL_NUMBER. If this error occurs, other requests are not affected.

Table 4.4-2 lists errors which cause all pending requests for a particular Go() to fail with the same error. If this type of error is received the state of any of the request is not known. For example, if requests are executed with a single Go() to set the AIN range and read an AIN, and the read fails with an LJE_COMM_FAILURE, it is not known whether the AIN range was set to the new value or whether it is still set at the old value.

I have been using the LabJack throughout my microcontrollers course at Algonquin College and one of the hardest things to figure out for most of my class was what the error codes meant. I'm stumbling upon this site well after completing that course and availability to this information at a prior date would have been extremely useful. Maybe a hyperlink on different parts of the site would help make this information widely known. My first resort was to google it but it seems the LabJack has its own set of error codes as stated above and I had a very hard time finding them.

Rather than using this page, a good idea is to use the ErrorToString function in the UD driver.  You give this an errorcode and it returns a string name for that errorcode.  You should see this technique in most examples.
