Imports an attribute configuration to the session from the specified buffer.

Inputs/Outputs
![]() instrument handle identifies a particular instrument session. ![]() buffer is a byte array that contains the attribute configuration to import. ![]() DO NOT EDIT HERE. Sourced by VI XML in //Measurements/DMM/niDmmComponents/nidmmDocs/. ![]() instrument handle out returns a handle that you use to identify the instrument in all subsequent instrument driver VI calls. ![]() error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error. |

Coercion Behavior for Certain Devices
Imported and exported attribute configurations contain coerced values for the following NI‑DMM devices:
- PXI/PCI/PCIe/USB‑4065
- PXI/PCI‑4070
- PXI‑4071
- PXI‑4072
NI‑DMM coerces attribute values when the value you set is within the allowed range for the attribute but is not one of the discrete valid values the attribute supports. For example, for an attribute that coerces values up, if you choose a value of 4 when the adjacent valid values are 1 and 10, the attribute coerces the value to 10.
