When the ADC se)uencer finishes cycling through all the enabled channels, the user
can decide if the se)uencer should sto( &one-shot !ode', or loo( bac and schedule
again &continuous !ode'$ If one-shot !ode is enabled, then the se)uencer will only
be scheduled one ti!e &the se)uencer DW will auto!atically disable the *te(>nable
