Description
Expected Behavior
Exists an option to defer to DAQ gui's record state
Current Behavior
record=True must be specified, otherwise we'll override the gui and set it to False
Context
pydaq.Control.configure(record=None) defers to the GUI record state, but I'm using record=None as a default "I don't want to touch the config" argument in daq.Daq.configure
Possible Solution
Add an extra string option for record='gui'?

Research direction
Start by reading pydaq.Control.configure(record=None) and the record handling in daq.Daq.configure. Trace how the current default overrides the GUI state, then define and implement the explicit option for deferring to the GUI. Done means callers can preserve the GUI record state without changing the existing behavior of record=None.
