How to use Dual channel or triple ADC?

You need to call nrf_drv_saadc_channel_init() on another channel, up to 7 more times, for a total of 8 channels.

Once a channel is enabled it will, along any other enabled channel, get sampled once when the SAMPLE task is triggered. The result is stored sequentially in RAM once the buffer is full. See SAADC — Successive approximation analog-to-digital converter for more details.

Hi, could you show me how to use dual channel in my project? I just want to read the voltage that both NRF_SAADC_INPUT_AIN6 and NRF_SAADC_INPUT_AIN7. I have tried but failed(Fatal Error).
