There are analog inputs on both the OI and the robot controler, I am assuming you are asking about the ones on the Robot controler.
They measure voltage, have 10 bit resoultion, and a 0 to 5 volt range, you can code to drop the resoultion to 8 bits. Full info on how to code and such can be found in the progamming instructions and by searching the fourms here.
Good luck Biff
