02 DESIGN THE SEQUENCE

A channel at a time.
A measurement
of your own.

Choose what each channel does. Use Priority to combine changing conditions into a repeatable measurement.

THE EXAMPLEOne sweep.
Three bias conditions.

Hold one condition while the other channel sweeps. Then move to the next condition.
