PositiveChannel |
| 0=CH0 - 7=CH7, 8=GND, 9=VDD, 11=REF+, 12=REF-, 13=TP, 14=TM, 15=VCM | |
| - BYTE
|
NegativeChannel |
| 0=CH0 - 7=CH7, 8=GND, 9=VDD, 11=REF+, 12=REF-, 13=TP, 14=TM, 15=VCM | |
| [[File:]] - | Return |

|
Use IRQ |
| No: Use polling of the status register to determine when an ADC sample is complete. Yes: Use the IRQ interrupt pin to determine when an ADC sample is complete. | |
|
|
IRQ Pin |
| Connected to the IRQ pin of the device, goes low on an interrupt event such as sample complete. | |

Simulations |
|
|
Simulate Comms |
| No: Simulation is done using panel sliders. Yes: Send SPI data via API interface and show real time data using panel sliders. | |
