Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm pretty sure that's an integral feature of a number of ADC chips already. Probably something about a patent expiring... PS: There's a very instructive walk through the HP multislope in AOE3. Doesn't really go into the 3458 much, but they lay out how the subsequent versions in 34401/34972 do things. -- Poul-Henning Kamp       | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG         | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer       | BSD since 4.3-tahoe    Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ volt-nuts mailing list -- volt-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there.
