  /* If you change the compare channels you can immediately read values from the conversion

   * shot mode you can use the isBusy() function to wait for data from the new channel. This 
   * does not work in continuous mode. 
   * To solve this issue the library adds a delay after change of channels if you are in contunuous
   * mode. The length of the delay is adjusted to the conversion rate. But be aware that the output 
   * rate will be much lower that the conversion rate if you change channels frequently.
