Checking for Intermodule Measurement Completion

Checking for Intermodule Measurement Completion
This program can be appended to or inserted into another program when you
need to know when an intermodule measurement is complete. If it is at the
end of a program it will tell you when measurement is complete. If you insert
it into a program, it will halt the program until the current measurement is
complete.
