MSP430f449 ADC program doubt

[AnuHV]

Hi ,
I have executed the following ADC program for single channel by connecting my flex sensor .When i checked the register ADC12MEM0 for digital output i could not find any changes.Please someone tell me where i have gone wrong? should i enable any interrupt in particular for this program?

MSP-FET430P440 Demo - ADC12, Single Conversion on Single Channel
//
//  This example shows how to perform a single ADC12 conversion on a single
//  channel. It uses AVcc for the reference and performs a single conversion on
//  channel A0. The conversion results are stored in ADC12MEM0. 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 a register window
//  with the debugger and view the contents of ADC12MEM0.
//  ACLK = n/a, MCLK = SMCLK = default DCO, ADC12CLK = ADC12OSC
//
