+Expected result
+===============
+When running this test, you should see the samples of all configured ADC lines
+continuously streamed to std-out.
+
+Background
+==========
+This test application will initialize each configured ADC lines to sample with
+10-bit accuracy. Once configured the application will continuously convert each
+available channel and print the conversion results to std-out.
+
+For verification of the output connect the ADC pins to known voltage levels
+and compare the output.
