Connection is carried out.

A dialog prompts the user to decide whether to connect during the running measurement or to stop the
measurement.
When connecting to the running measurement, the currently open measurement configuration is closed and
the configuration required by the device is read and loaded. The program connects to the device and goes into
measurement mode. If the required measurement configuration is not found, the process can be aborted. The
device continues to carry out measurements without any connection having been made.
If the user chooses to stop measurement in order to set up the connection, the current measurement
configuration remains open and unchanged.

The user is notified that connection is only possible after first stopping measurement. If the process is aborted,
the device continues measuring without any connection having been made.
