ErrorAction

Specify the M-file action function to execute when an error event occurs

Description

You configure ErrorAction to execute an M-file action function when an error event occurs.

Note    An error event is generated only for asynchronous read and write operations.

An error event is generated when a timeout occurs. A timeout occurs if a read or write operation does not successfully complete within the time specified by the Timeout property. An error event is not generated for configuration errors such as setting an invalid property value.

If the RecordStatus property value is on, and an error event occurs, the record file records this information:

• The event type as Error
• The error message
• The time the event occurred using the format day-month-year hour:minute:second:millisecond

To learn how to create an action function, refer to Creating and Executing Action Functions.
