SETTLING TIMES for these module amplifier jumpers are as follows:
J22A - 24uSec
J22B - 10uSec
J22C - 80uSec
J22D - 16uSec (not used)
A conversion mode is selected by writing its corresponding two-bit code to bits D5
and D6 of the status/control register (see Table 3-2 Input Mode Options).
following subsections define each of the input conversion modes and list the
procedure for using each.
3.4.1.1 Single Channel Mode
In the single-channel mode, the module will automatically start another conversion
on the specified channel, after the low-order A/D input byte (base + 8 1H) has been
read.
