Its description: >ADON: A/D On bit >1 = A/D converter module is operating >0 = A/D converter module is shut-off and consumes no operating current ADON (bit 0) turns the A/D section on or off. You would normally turn it on and leave it on, but you can turn it off to save power when you're not using it, in a battery-powered application. GO/DONE (bit 2) is what you use to do your sampling. Set it to 1 to start the conversion, wait until it changes back to 0 and now the answer's available. Barry
