Import (VI)

Session in specifies the system to which to import.

Source File specifies the configuration to copy. This input may point to a configuration file. To specify a configuration file, set Source to an existing file path.

Experts specifies a case-insensitive comma-separated string specifying which experts' data to copy. If Experts is unwired or blank, this VI copies all configuration data from the specified configuration file. If you specify an expert name, this VI copies only that expert's data. The list of supported experts for a given system is returned from the Get System Experts VI.

Note   Examples of expert names include daqmx and ni-visa . For a listing of the available experts for this operation and the input strings to use, refer to KnowledgeBase article 5FFA2JBP .

error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

Import Mode specifies how to treat existing data at the destination.

Example

For this example, consider an initial configuration state with items A1 and B. The configuration file from which you are importing data includes items A2 and C. In this case, it is the same item A with different configuration data.

Session out returns the refnum for the system.

Detailed Result returns a list of items that were imported or the results of any errors that occurred during the VI execution.

error out returns error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
