B) After the next trigger, channel 1(323) is opened, channel 4(0)
is closed
C) After the next trigger, channel 4(0) is opened, channel 4(1) is
closed
D) After the next trigger, channel 4(1) is opened, channel 4(2) is
closed
E) After the next trigger, channel 4(2) is opened, channel 5(8) is
closed
F) After the next trigger, channel 5(8) is opened, channel 5(7) is
closed
G) After the next trigger, channel 5(7) is opened, channel 5(6) is
closed
H) After the next trigger, channel 5(6) is opened, channel 5(5) is
closed
