3.6  Single-Channel Operation 
The two types of single-channel operation are:
1.
When SCAN = 0, the single selected channel is converted four consecutive 
times. The first result is stored in A/D result register 1 (ADR1), and the fourth 
result is stored in ADR4. After the fourth conversion is complete, all 
conversion activity is halted until a new conversion command is written to 
the ADCTL register. 
2.
When SCAN = 1, conversions continue to be performed on the selected 
channel with the fifth conversion being stored in register ADR1 (overwriting 
the first conversion result), the sixth conversion overwriting ADR2, and so 
on. 
3.7  Multiple-Channel Operation 
The two types of multiple-channel operation are: 
1.
When SCAN = 0, a selected group of four channels is converted one time 
each. The first result is stored in A/D result register 1 (ADR1), and the fourth 
result is stored in ADR4. After the fourth conversion is complete, all 
conversion activity is halted until a new conversion command is written to 
the ADCTL register. 
2.
When SCAN = 1, conversions continue to be performed on the selected 
group of channels with the fifth conversion being stored in register ADR1 
(replacing the earlier conversion result for the first channel in the group), the 
sixth conversion overwriting ADR2, and so on.
