Reading A/D Channels Command

The Read A/D channels command returns two bytes for each channel read. The two bytes represent the most significant byte (MSB) and least significant byte (LSB) of the reading. The MSB is received first, followed by the LSB. This command requires a data byte. The data byte is used to specify the number of the highest channel to be read. All channels less than this channel will be read as well. For example, if the data byte has a value of 3, then channels 0 to 3 will be read. The highest channel is read first.

Command Syntax

!0RA{#}

Where “{#}” is a byte that specifies the number of the highest channel to be read. See Table 3.3

Response Syntax

{ch(#)MSB}{ch(#)LSB}{ch(#- 1)MSB}...{ch0MSB}{ch0LSB}

The most significant byte of the channel specified is received first. The least significant byte and the lower channels will follow in descending order. “{chxMSB}” and “{chxLSB}” represent the most and least significant bytes of the A/D conversion result.
