Sorry, you're not right. I believe the 12 bit data is raw data with no
setpoints at all...those have to be manually set in PS. The 12 data will be
high bit justified in the 16 bit word, and no intermediate values will be
"interpolated" and there will be gaps between valid data points. These gaps
are not relevant.
