CUST_MEACYC: User program before/after measurements are performed

Function
The CUST_MEACYC cycle is called at the beginning of each measuring cycle.
It can be used by users to program sequences necessary before starting a measurement
(e.g. to activate probe).
In the as-delivered state, this cycle only contains one CASE statement that executes a jump
to a label with subsequent M17 (end of subroutine) for each measuring cycle.
Example
_M977:
M17
From this label all actions to be executed on each CYCLE977 call must be programmed.
