1. A method of preparing electrodes for ablative electrical treatment of tissue at a reference point, the method comprising:
extending a sheath containing a primary electrode and a secondary electrode, wherein the secondary electrode is contained within the primary electrode and initially coupled to move with the primary electrode;
moving a primary actuator configured to move the primary electrode to a first location near the reference point;
moving the primary actuator to move a shrouding device to permit access to a secondary actuator configured to move the secondary electrode; and
moving the secondary actuator to move the secondary electrode to a second location near the reference point.
