Data specified out of range

What does 3 mean?

This synchronous programming error occurs when a specified data value, such as a parameter setting, falls outside its permissible operating range. An example is setting SCALEFACTOR(0) to a negative value when it must be positive. If no ONERROR event is defined, the program will terminate.

• Attempting to assign a negative value to a parameter that requires a positive input (e.g., SCALEFACTOR).
• Inputting a value for a parameter that exceeds its maximum or falls below its minimum allowable threshold.
• Programming errors where variables or parameters are inadvertently set to invalid ranges.
• Incorrect scaling or unit conversion leading to out-of-range data during runtime calculations.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Review the line of code or parameter setting that triggered the error and identify the problematic data value.

2. 2

   Consult the drive manual or Mint Workbench help to determine the valid range for the specific parameter or function.

3. 3

   Correct the parameter or variable assignment to ensure the data falls within the acceptable range (e.g., set SCALEFACTOR to a positive value).

4. 4

   Implement input validation in the Mint program to prevent out-of-range values from being assigned.
