You have accomplished the basic task of makeing a measurement so you know that your commands are good. Now, if you want a continuous update, you just have to write a loop. I don't know if labview has a do...loop or for...next or what, but it sounds like you just want an infinite loop.

Personally I would just have a button in the UI that you can click whenever you want a measurement.
