In most of my projects, I do just as Dwayne stated, run a 10ms timer and=20
poll the interrupt flag. However, in this case I wanted to use the auto=20
conversion option, mainly as I've never seen any public code using it, and=
=20
as far as I can see, this does need the interrupts enabled to work.

Another reason I tried this was so that with a 24F part I could use the=20
auto scanbuffer option without changing the foreground code or at least=20
with minimal change.

The actual aquiring of 6 channels works fine, I don't need to disable the=20
ADC interrupts if I perform scaling, display and storage right after the=20
last channel has been read. The ADC read takes just under 500mS (6 channels=
=20
by 16 reads each) averaging performed in interrupt. I suppose I could just=
=20
run the other functions concurrently, only disabling the ADC and CCP=20
interrupts if I Tx the data to a PC.
