Measurement Plug-In Workflow

This documentation supports developing measurement plug-ins and using measurements in low-code applications.

• Develop reusable measurement plug-ins:
  • Develop measurement logic in your preferred software language. Measurement Plug-In services help to manage driver sessions, allowing you to create software measurements that emphasize intuitive interaction with a physical DUT.
  • Validate measurement behavior from your development environment or interactively in InstrumentStudio.
  • Use LabVIEW or the Measurement Plug-In UI Editor to create a graphical user interface that loads when you open your measurement in InstrumentStudio.
  • Deploy measurement plug-ins so that they are statically registered with the Measurement Plug-In discovery service and available in TestStand and InstrumentStudio.
• Use measurements interactively:
  • Use InstrumentStudio to run a measurement and perform hardware validation via a graphical UI.
  • Open a measurement in InstrumentStudio from TestStand to debug a measurement step in your automated sequence.
• Use measurements in automated testing:
  • Use TestStand to run measurements as part of an automated test sequence.
  • Register a pin map so that the Measurement Plug-In session management service can initialize and manage driver sessions for NI drivers.
  • Initialize and manage instrument driver sessions efficiently with multiple measurements in a single automated test sequence.
