Previously, you modified only how data are analyzed. In this exercise,
you will modify the test flow to change how the experiment is
performed. Beginning with the standard CSM method, you will create a
new method that uses a constant loading rate to get to a target force
quickly and then uses a constant strain rate to finish the experiment. You
will use 50 mN for the target force and 10 seconds for the ramp time.
You will also change the default oscillation amplitude to 10 nm.
