PRODUCTION DATA.
Use software polling of data ready in lieu of hardware polling of DRDY or DOUT/DRDY. To software poll, read the STATUS register and poll the DRDY bit. In order to not skip conversion data in continuous conversion mode, poll the bit at least as often as the period of the data rate. If the DRDY bit is set, then conversion data are new since the previous data read operation. If the bit is cleared, conversion data are not new since the previous data read operation. In this case, the previous conversion data are returned.
