What is the method, or is it even possible, to read the live voltage and current measurements from a PXIe-4138 SMU after the original configuration session has been Closed? I have a (relatively) long-running Teststand sequence that configures the SMU to deliver power to the DUT, then performs tests and along the way I need to take the SMU readings. I've always been under the impression it's best practice to open, configure, and close the SMU quickly, but the 3-state programming model doesn't seem to allow a way to jump back into the Running state from Init with Channels VI, except by going through Uncommitted and Committed states, and thereby shutting everything down in the process. The Power Measure VI only works if you're in the Running state. Seems like a no brainer, so what am I missing?
