average the readings. how often are you reading the data? how fast do you have to update the display? flickering appears when a display is updated about 20 times a second. if you update the display about 10 times a second and average the previous 8 readings you should get a smooth reading without too much lag time in the voltage change to display reading. michael At 07:33 AM 11/11/97 +0200, you wrote: >I am using a 16C71 as a 4 channel voltmeter, but find that the last digit >fluctuates so much that it is a problem.
