Bad backlash

When checking / tightening a wheel, do you tighten diagonally or simply go round one by one ?
 
Little 45 mile round trip to Matlock today, to road test. Bike ran lovely, nice slick gear change etc and a much quieter primary.

Up to 20-25 inch pounds or so I go back and forth to opposite positions, keeping the rim reasonably true. After that I switch to sneaking the tension up in 5 inch pound increments, going round and round, tightening each spoke as I go.
