How many channels do you need to sample, and how close in time do the samples need to be? Some dsPICs have multiple sample and holds and can sample up to 4(?) channels simultaneously. Some can also convert so fast that sequential sampling might be good enough for what you are trying to do= .. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
