A measurement is a collection of raw data files that are all related together by a measurement ID.

A measurement ID shuld be unique and is generated by the MEASUREMENT:NEW command. An optional label can be assocoiated with this to aid with clarity.

 mid=MEASUREMENT:NEW("test scans")
 BEGIN measurement_id=mid measurement_subid="1" measurement_type="SANS" sample_id="135"

Alternatively you could do:

    mid=MEASUREMENT:NEW("test scans")
    MEASUREMENT id=mid subid="1" type="SANS" sample_id="135"
    BEGIN

to retrive the label specified for the current measurement use

 printn MEASUREMENT:GETLABEL()

or for a previous measurement

 printn MEASUREMENT:GETLABEL(id)

to retrive other information on the current measurement use e.g.

 printn MEASUREMENT:GETSUBID()

Parameters:

`[in]`	NEW	Create a new measurement identfier with associated LABEL
`[in]`	GETID	Retrieve the current measurement identifier (or for label LABEL if specified)
`[in]`	GETLABEL	Retrieve the label for the current measurement (or for identifier ID if specified)
