[lakhotiaharshit]

This PR contains additions to B1517A driver so that it can run IV staircase sweep measurements.

Additionally:

• fix instrument type in MultiParameter
• add typing to sampling measurement of SMU

TO do in another PR :

• Use the following method to fix pylint

@pytest.fixture(name="b1500")
def _make_b1500_fixture():
....

• clear_timer_count should also be avaialble on module level, say for each SMU/CMU - do in a later PR
