Sampling Multiple Channels with the ADC at The Same Time

Hello everyone, I am currently trying to sample two differential signals at the same time and I was wondering if there is an easy way to do this in the c code. I can currently sample one chann...

it means 8 ADC devices to me (call it channels).

8 inputs to 8 ADCS (one input per ADC)

8 outputs from 8 ADCs, at this side the speed of each ADC output being 500Ksps Versus serial clock of 40MHz is exploited to que them up as 500Ksps *8 = 4MHz

I did some more research. That statement does not mean that there are 8 ADCS. There are 8 input pins that are connected via a mux which then goes into a single ADC. I am just going to write some code to ping between two channels and see how that works.
