Call by reference - which error in to use?

[george seifert]

When using a Call By Reference node there's an error in/out cluster on the node itself. Also there can be an error in/out cluster on the VI that's called. Should I use both error clusters or is the one on the node kind of superfluous? Or is there a way to get the error cluster from the node into the VI referred to by the reference node?

I normally merge the VI's error with the node's error (with the node's error taking priority) - after all, they both are differnt things: the node's error relates to being able to call the particular VI specified, whereas the VI's error depends on the inner workings of the VI being called.

I agree, if the node generates an error the outputs of the called VI should probably be discarded anyway.

OK. Merge it is. It'd be nice though if you could access the node's error cluster like you can do with a timed loop.
