Device action
The primary device action is a measurement. However, the device action could include a function
change and a channel scan (if scanner is enabled). A channel is scanned (closed) before a
measurement is made. When scanning internal channels, the previous channel opens and the next
channel closes (break-before-make). Also included in the device action is the internal settling time
delay for the relay.
