I assume you're referring to ts7800ctl.c here?

The actual sampling method is successive approximation and this is 
implemented by the AVR itself and it is not possible to change.  The sample 
rate (2kHz) and number of samples taken per command (2048) are design 
limitations inherent in the AVR program and the mechanism it needs to use to 
storing samples, although you can sample continuously simply by sending 
periodic commands to the AVR to get the next set of samples.

The source code is the documentation at this point.  :-)

I'm going to be updating the preliminary manual (the bleeding edge version 
on my personal support page; the official released version won't change 
until I'm finished) with some more information on the ADC as I can piece it 
to together, hopefully that will help.
