Has Anyone used the Linear LTC2400 ADC (24 bit)?

I would like to see all the bits if not process them,·and Im not shure how to handle the 3 bytes of info.

    Mstauffer74,

    Your question is rather vague. I looked up the part online. The LTC2400 uses I2C to communicate. You need to create routines to read and write via I2C (or find someone else's I2C code examples), then you need to hook up the device to the SX and read the 3 bytes of data.

    Once you have read them, it's up to you to decide what to do with them. There's no magic involved with handling 24 bit data other than the fact that you need to process the three bytes sequentially and get your byte ordering straight. The lack of details in your post makes it hard to provide any more information. You haven't described your project or the language your're working in, nor the problem you are anticipating.

    Thanks,
    PeterM

    Have you ever tried any 8 bit ADC's before?
