Renamed Packages

• The packages have been renamed to remove the deprecated MeasurementLink product name (#751, #753)
  ni_measurementlink_service -> ni_measurement_plugin_sdk_service
ni_measurementlink_generator -> ni_measurement_plugin_sdk_generator
• General removal of MeasurementLink product name (#746)
• Change the generator tool name to ni-measurement-plugin-generator (#799)
• Apply renames to markdown contents (#756)
• Update TestStand sequences with renames (#758)
• Update discovery client JSON service path (#752)
• Apply renames in pyproject.toml, docstrings, comments, and logging (#760)
• Update missed TestStand sequences with renames (#761)

Repo reorganization

• Major reorganization of the repo to have a packages top-level folder (#787)
  • ni-measurement-plugin-sdk top-level meta package installs the ni-measurement-plugin-sdk-service and ni-measurement-plugin-sdk-generator packages
  • ni-measurement-plugin-sdk-service package is the primary package that allows users to create a measurement plug-in service
  • ni-measurement-plugin-sdk-generator package is a utility package that helps users get started by generating a measurement plug-in service from a template

General Improvements and Fixes

• Update the repo to pull its .proto files from the ni/ni-apis repo as a submodule instead of duplicating them in this repo (#702)
• Add timeout of 10s for reserve_all_registered_sessions() (#688)
• Update service to use I/O resource specialization instead of Pin (#691)
• Example Improvements and Fixes
  • nidcpower_source_dc_voltage: Update measurement to support multiple instrument sessions (#676)
  • nidcpower_source_dc_voltage: Add a device reset on channels in measurement (#690)
  • nidcpower_source_dc_voltage_with_multiplexer: Reset source channel after running measurement (#696)
  • niscope_acquire_waveform: Update measurement to run when trigger source isn't present in measured pins (#694)
  • Rename sequences to append _example. This helps support using the InstrumentStudio sequencer with our shipping examples (#782)
