What does this Pull Request accomplish?

• Separated the logic inside the Measure.vi in the measurement client template library Measurement Client Template.lvlib into three VIs to get the streaming response of the measurement service in the caller VI, by looping the Read Measurement.vi. The new VIs are:

  • Start Measurement.vi
  • Read Measurement.vi
  • Stop Measurement.vi

• Updated the Run Client.vi to display the continuous response of a streaming measurement.

  • The modified Run Client.vi will support both non-stream and stream measurements.
  • The VI will provide the last value of the stream response when used as sub VI in a framework.
  • User has to replicate the logic inside the Run Client.vi in their framework, to get the complete stream response instead of using the Run Client.vi as a sub VI.

• Updated the Template Files List.vi to contain the list of files in the modified client template library.

• Updated the scripting logic in Update Measurement from Metadata.vi for the modified client template.

• Updated the execution property of Close Measurement.vi to re-entrant so that multiple calls can execute in parallel.

Why should this Pull Request be merged?

• To provide stream response support for the measurement client.

What testing has been done?

• Manually tested by creating measurement clients for the example measurements
