//  MSP430x26x Demo - ADC12, Using an External Reference
//
//  Description: This example shows how to use an external positive reference for
//  the ADC12.The external reference is applied to the VeREF+ pin. AVss is used
//  for the negative reference. A single conversion is performed on channel A0.
//  The conversion results are stored in ADC12MEM0 and Test by applying a voltage
//  to channel A0, then setting and running to a break point at the "_NOP()"
//  instruction. To view the conversion results, open an SFR window in debugger 
//  and view the contents of ADC12MEM0.
