Description

  • move into own file
  • Streamline interface to be more consistent
  • Reduce number of functions
  • add a way to get the numericalValues from textualValues and vice versa
  • add entrySourceType as input parameter to GetLastSweepWithSetting and friends

Will not be API compatible.

Functions like GetLastSettingEachSCI should also allow to only return the last valid entry of a particular headstage.

The logic behind MSQ_GetLBNEntryForHeadstageSCI should then also be included in that rewrite.

Research direction

Start by locating the labnotebook querying API and the named functions, including GetLastSweepWithSetting, GetLastSettingEachSCI, and MSQ_GetLBNEntryForHeadstageSCI. Map their current responsibilities and dependencies before defining the revised interface; done means the querying API is reorganized, non-API-compatible changes are covered, and the listed filtering and value-conversion requirements are addressed.
