[ts-7000] SPI Continuous Transmission

I am currently using the TS7200 with an SPI peripheral (ADXL345 accelerometer) 
and am having huge problems reading multiple bytes of data on a single 
transmission.

My accelerometer has the capabilities of performing multiple byte reads while 
only asserting the chip select once, rather than reading one register on the 
accelerometer at a time.  

The procedure I use for single byte read is the following:

    assert Chip Select
    send Read register command   //POKE8 -write register address of     /       
                        //ADXL345 to SSP Data Register
    send 8 bits of data          //clocks 8 bits of data into SSPDR
    deassert Chip select
    read SSP data register       //PEEK8 -read SSPDR
    print to terminal

For multi-byte transmissions I follow the same procedure except before 
deasserting the Chip Select, I continue to send 8 bits of data, for each 
register on the ADXL345 I would like to read from (in my case 6 registers, 3 
axis and 2 for each axis).

The problem I am having is I am not sure that I am reading the SSP data 
register at the correct time or if I am even reading the SSP data register at 
all. I see the correct data on the oscilloscope, so I know that I am 
communicating with the ADXL345 properly and that it is functioning properly.  
However, when I read the SSP data register after each time I send the 8 dummy 
bits meaning new data has shifted into the RX FIFO, I don't read what I see on 
the scope.

I am using some of the source code provided by TS in the FTP repository called 
tempsensor.c and use the POKEXX and PEEKXX functions to write and read to/from 
the SSP data register.  Because I have to open /dev/mem to perform those POKE 
and PEEk functions I think something isn't working properly with the way I am 
reading the SSP data register.

How do I know when the end of transmission has occurred?  How do I know that 
after I have sent out the 8 dummy bits to shift in new data that the data is 
actually in the SSP register and is ready to be read?

Can anyone please help me???????? I am working on a school project and have 
very limited time to get this done. Anything would help, thank you in advance!!
