1: Referenced Single-Ended (RSE) configuration (used when the input signal does 
not have its own ground reference. The negative input of the instrumentation 
amplifier is tied to the instrumentation amplifier signal ground to provide one).
2: Nonreferenced Single-Ended (NRSE) configuration (used when the input signal 
has its own ground reference. The ground reference for the input signal is 
connected to AISENSE, which is tied to the negative input of the instrumentation 
amplifier).
inputRange is the voltage range of the analog input channels. polarity indicates whether the 
ADC is configured for unipolar or bipolar operation:
0: Bipolar operation (default value).
1: Unipolar operation.
Table 2-1 shows all possible settings for inputMode, inputRange, and polarity. inputMode 
is independent of inputRange and polarity. In this table, italic text denotes default settings.
