A. Trace points specifies the size of the buffer. Buffer size should be the same 
value as the number of Differential Conductance readings in the test. See 
Section 6 for details on all buffer commands.
B. The initiate command starts Differential Conductance readings. After all 
Differential Conductance readings are performed, Differential Conductance 
will stop running. At this point another initiate command will re-start Differ-
ential Conductance. New Differential Conductance readings will overwrite 
the old Differential Conductance readings in the Model 622x buffer.
