Note: This is the newest and recommended method for reading a

single 24-bit data (voltage) from the device. This call has both error
recover and is much easier to implement than the   "old style"   method
that required a special token to be written to the device, the data read,
and error recovery implemented.

of this old style function call are no longer used by the DLL and those
have been removed from the new function call.
