`ui_file_paths` array in `measurement.py`
- Includes a TestStand sequence showing how to configure the pin map, register
instrument sessions with the session management service, and run a measurement
- For the sake of simplicity, the TestStand sequence handles pin map and session registration and unregistration in the `Setup` and `Cleanup` sections of the main sequence. For **Test UUTs** and batch process model use cases, these steps should be moved to the `ProcessSetup` and `ProcessCleanup` callbacks.
- Uses the NI gRPC Device Server to allow sharing instrument sessions with other
measurement services when running measurements from TestStand
