Hi John,

Thanks for getting back to me. I was actually looking at that same ADC 
converter as you posted in your reply. Just looking for some clarification 
on a few things. What type of error would a simple resistor divider 
introduce into the system? I am currently using a cascaded inverting op amp 
system. Not really sure if this will scale the input voltage to a level 
that is compatible with my ADC.

The circuit diagram looks like this:

Looking forward to your reply,
Chels
