For the NI 4050 and NI 4060, the error codes returned for self-test
                failures include the following:

                -  NIDMM_ERROR_AC_TEST_FAILURE
                -  NIDMM_ERROR_DC_TEST_FAILURE
                -  NIDMM_ERROR_RESISTANCE_TEST_FAILURE

                These error codes indicate that the DMM should be repaired.

                For the NI 4080/4081/4082 and the NI 4070/4071/4072, the error code
                returned for a self-test failure is NIDMM_ERROR_SELF_TEST_FAILURE.
                This error code indicates that the DMM should be repaired.

Tip:
        This method requires repeated capabilities (usually channels). If called directly on the
        nidmm.Session object, then the method will use all repeated capabilities in the session.
        You can specify a subset of repeated capabilities using the Python index notation on an
        nidmm.Session instance, and calling this method on the result.:

            session['0,1']._get_attribute_vi_boolean(attribute_id)

        Args:
            attribute_id (int): Pass the ID of an attribute.

        Returns:
            attribute_value (bool): Returns the current value of the attribute. Pass the address of a
                ViBoolean variable.

The valid range is 086400000. The default value is
                NIDMM_VAL_TIME_LIMIT_AUTO (-1). The DMM calculates the timeout
                automatically.

                Note:
                The size of the **Reading_Array** must be at least the size that you
                specify for the **Array_Size** parameter.
