Error Clusters

I'm curious if anyone has implemented error clusters in their Labview projects beyond what comes with the FRC framework.

I deal with Industrial machine programming frequently, and want to implement an error and warning system similar to what we use.

For instance, on the driver station diagnostic window we see errors generated. I'd like to be able to add customized warnings and errors. For instance:

Shooter not up to speed in expected time
Velocity overshoot over expected limit
Excessive deviation from requested heading

I've spent some time reading about the implementation of error clusters in Labview, but the explanations leave a whole lot to be desired. For instance, they mention that after throwing a warning, all VI's afterwards will not execute. Hardly what we want on a robot.

So, can anyone give a primer on how to implement error reporting using Error Clusters that can be applied to our robots?
