control starts a repeated acquisition process. This function acquires the requested
samples and repeats the data acquisition until the button is turned off. Within a single acquisition cycle,
the points will be contiguous, but from acquisition to acquisition, there may be points missing.

Analysis Data input referred
checkbox changes the displayed data that is read from the ADC.
Checking the box displays the data input referred, while not checking displays the data as converted.

status registers,
LOFF STATP
