It appears from looking at stg.c stg.h stg2.c and stg2.h that if you go into the
.h file you are using and swap the values for DAC_1 to be the 3rd dac, so to do
what you want change the line #define DAC_1 0x12 to be
#define DAC_1 0x16   This will do what you have asked.  I don't know if you are
using a stg or a stg2, but change the stg.h or stg2.h as appropriate.
