7.5.11.2 DRDY Bit

The software method of determining data ready is by polling the DRDY bit (bit 0 of the STATUS header). When DRDY = 1b, the data are new from the last data read operation, otherwise the data provided are the previous data. After data are read, the bit stays cleared until the next conversion data are ready. To avoid missing data, poll the bit at least as often as the output data rate.
