            Quadrupole to measure, just for labelling. Only switch_mux_on/off
            really create the route to the electrodes.
        nb_stack : int, optional
            Number of stacks. A stacl is considered two half-cycles (one
            positive, one negative).
        injection_duration : int, optional
            Injection time in seconds.
        autogain : bool, optional
            If True, will adapt the gain of the ADS1115 to maximize the
            resolution of the reading.
        strategy : str, optional
            (V3.0 only) If we search for best voltage (tx_volt == 0), we can choose
            different strategy:
            - vmin: find lowest voltage that gives us a signal
            - vmax: find max voltage that are in the range
            For a constant value, just set the tx_volt.
        tx_volt : float, optional
            (V3.0 only) If specified, voltage will be imposed. If 0, we will look
            for the best voltage. If a best Tx cannot be found, no
            measurement will be taken and values will be NaN.
