- DataSocket instrument driver
- Network Variable Library
- Real-Time Utility Library
- TDM Streaming Library
- UDP Support Library
This function can be useful if you write code that contains calls to more than one of these libraries. Because these error codes do not overlap, this function can query the correct library for the error message. This function also returns error messages for certain National Instruments shared components.
