Procedure Displays Generic Error -300401, Calibration Results Are Empty

When an error in a procedure occurs before the Caldata30 VI captures any data, then the process model issues an error message that is too generic to be useful for debugging the error:

Error -300401 occurred at CalibrationReportsDB.lvclass:Write Caldata30.vi
Calibration Results are empty. Not data logged to the report database.

Workaround:

On the Tests tab, locate the test step that triggered the error, and hover the cursor over the "Error" status. The tooltip displays detailed information for the actual error.
