 /*Program Example 5.5: Inputs signal through ADC, and outputs to DAC.
 View DAC output on oscilloscope. To demonstrate Nyquist, connect variable
 frequency signal generator to ADC input. Allows measurement of conversion
 times, and explores Nyquist limit.

 }

DAC0 (CH2) and the Function Generator (CH1) was captured on the oscilloscope in the image below.
