Create and return a user-defined error code and message in the stimulus profile test results file.

You can also configure this primitive to stop the sequence and skip to the clean-up tasks or to immediately abort the sequence without performing clean-up tasks. Only the most recent error appears in the test results file because the most recent error overwrites any previous error that occurred.

The test results file displays the error code and message in the section that corresponds to the sequence that generated the error. The following example shows how an error appears in the test results file:
