Open Component Reference

Returns a reference to a component, such as a library or GLL, you specify with a name string.

Use Open Component Reference to create a component reference for Open VI Reference.

component name

Name of the component you want to reference.

Do not include the file extension in the name you enter.

datatype_icon

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.

error in does not contain an error error in contains an error

If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally.

If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.

If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

Default: No error

component reference

Reference to the specified component.

error out

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

This node can return the following error codes.

-4503Some of the Application's GLLs contain incompatible or missing exports. Make sure all VIs and DLLs called by the application are exported in the GLL and have the expected connector pane configuration. Make sure all G Types are compatible.
1571Packed project libraries are not supported.
1753 or 1754The specified component was not found. Make sure the component name you specified is correct.
1755 One or more dependency GLL was not found.
1757 Cannot open an application component. Only library components are supported.
1758 Multiple components with the same name were found.
