Hi guys,
Its my first time tried to use the ADC module and it really gives me some hard time, I've tried to use AN1 & AN2 as the analog input, 12bit accuracy, using scan method and only opened muxA, I saw the value change in ADC1BUF0(its fluctuated because its switching between AN1 and AN2), the device I am using is with DMA, I have 2 questions:

1.what should I do to read out the these two value sperately? I am not quite familiar with the DMA. Can I have some examples how to setup and use the DMA for ADC?

2.another question is, if I have to match the two Analog input to DMA, does that mean the device with DMA is slower? In stead of reading directly from register(ADC1BUF0,ADC1BUF1....in device without DMA) I have to write the value into memory first and then read back?

Thanks ahead.

there are some example of using dsPIC33 ADCs with DMA on Microchip's code examples page
**broken link removed**

below is code I used with a dsPIC33EP256MU806 adapted from one of microchip's examples
Code:
#if defined(__dsPIC33E__)
#include "p33exxxx.h"
#elif defined(__PIC24E__)
#include "p24exxxx.h"
#endif

#include "hardware.h"
#include <libpic30.h>		// for __delay_us FCY must be defined!
#include "adc1.h"

// User Defines



#define NUMSAMP	256
//int BufferA[NUMSAMP] __attribute__((space(dma)));
//int BufferB[NUMSAMP] __attribute__((space(dma)));
#ifdef _HAS_DMA_
__eds__ int BufferA[NUMSAMP] __attribute__((eds,space(dma)));
__eds__ int BufferB[NUMSAMP] __attribute__((eds,space(dma)));
#else
 int BufferA[NUMSAMP] __attribute__((space(xmemory)));
int BufferB[NUMSAMP] __attribute__((space(xmemory)));
#endif
void ProcessADCSamples(__eds__ int * AdcBuffer);



//Functions:
