The Get_Analog_Value() function returns the full 10-bit result from the analog-to-digital converter. For example,

 Get_Analog_Value(rc_ana_in01)

will give you a number from 0-1023 representing the voltage (from 0 to 5 volts) on the first RC analog input.

Typically, one will #define a more friendly name for the signal:

#define angleFeedbackPot = Get_Analog_Value(rc_ana_in02)

And that's all it takes.
