Tricky, thanks for your reply...

How could I use RS232 UART to send data to my ADC and to show the converted value on the screen in order to verify the results? I know I am blur on this, very bad understanding in hardware, forgive me

I think my question is how can I use RS232 UART to verify the results (converted digital outputs match the analog inputs)?
