Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) transform an analog voltage to a binary number (a series of 1's and 0's), and then eventually to a digital number (base 10) for reading on a meter, monitor, or chart. ... Similarly, for the same 0 to 10 VDC range, a 16-bit ADC resolution is 10/216 = 10/65,536 = 0.153 mV.
