What does this Pull Request accomplish?
If a measurement author wants to use a LabVIEW UI with, for example, their Python service, they currently have to create a measurement service in LabVIEW, copy out the Measurement UI.vi to another location and edit the VI to remove it from its measurement library.
This is greatly improved with a template VI that we include with LabVIEW. The user now simply does File >> New... and then picks the Measurement UI template. I reviewed the template text in the dialog with our tech comms writer.
Why should this Pull Request be merged?
Eases the workflow of reusing a LabVIEW measurement UI with another type of service.
What testing has been done?
Built the generator package, installed it, and created some Measurement UIs.
