Running a Measurement from InstrumentStudio

You can run Measurement Plug-In measurements from InstrumentStudio.

  1. Open the measurement in InstrumentStudio.
  2. On the Home screen, select Manual Layout.
    The Edit Layout screen appears.
  3. Locate your measurement plug-in in the list. Select Create large panel in the drop-down list for your measurement plug-in.
    Note If your measurement plug-in does not appear in the Edit Layout window, ensure that the plug-in is either configured to start automatically or has been started manually. For more information, refer to Statically Register a Measurement Service section of the Developing a Measurement Plug-In with LabVIEW or Developing a Measurement Plug-In with Python topics.
    The large panel updates to list the selected measurement plug-in.
  4. Click OK. InstrumentStudio opens a new project and displays the measurement UI.
  5. Optional: Ensure that the project contains any referenced pin map and that a pin map is marked as active.
  6. Click Run in the measurement UI. The measurement executes and values update in the measurement UI.
    Tip You can change the behavior of the Run button so that the measurement runs continuously. Click the arrow at the side of the button and select Run Continuously to change the button behavior. Once the measurement is running, the button text changes. Click Stop to stop the measurement.
