The A/D conversion operation can be divided into 2 stages, trigger stage and transfer
stage. The trigger stage will generate a trigger signal to the A/D converter and the transfer
stage will transfer the results to the CPU.
The trigger method may be an internal trigger or an external trigger. The internal
trigger can be a software trigger or a pacer trigger. The software trigger is very simple
but can not control the sampling rate very precisely. In software trigger mode, the
program issues a software trigger command (sec. 2.4.9) any time needed. Then the program
will poll the A/D status bit until the ready bit is 0 (sec. 2.4.2).
