 # Network Communication Measurements (Two Systems Required)
-For the Latency, Throughput, and CPU Usage measurements, two different systems are required. These systems should be connected over the same network to ensure efficient and accurate communication measurements between them. This setup is crucial for evaluating network-dependent performance metrics effectively.

+# Important Note on Port Variables
+The measurement benchmark scripts (A.py, B.py, C.py) expect port variables such as `PORT_NAME_F1_F2`, `PORT_F1_F2`, `PORT_NAME_F2_F3`, and `PORT_F2_F3` to be injected by `copy_with_port_portname.py` during study generation. Running these scripts directly will use safe fallback defaults and may not reflect full study behavior. For accurate results, always run measurements through the study generation workflow (e.g., `makestudy`).
