28. 4, in good agreement with the ∼150 data points per step for ∼0.1-nm steps at the operating conditions employed (4.2-5.6 nm/s, 0.93 Hz, 2000 traces). The count numbers appeared smaller than what was estimated because there were two types of traces, high-conductance and low-conductance, whose probabilities were found roughly one-third and two-thirds, respectively, of the stepwise traces (see Table 2).
