How to Read Measures from Part with NXOpen

I have a part with several measures (Analysis->Measure). I have renamed them to something descriptive (e.g., CylinderHeight).

Now what I would like to do in the journal is get the value for a specified measure, for instance:

myDouble = GetMeausureValue(measureName as String, measureType as ?)

something like that .....

I tried to reverse engineer a recorded journal but haven't made much progress, any hints or ideas? If I knew how to find the object with the correct measureName that would really help.

Thanks
