I've been reading in the resistance values and have noticed that they are all clamped (if that's the right terminology) to a certain value. In the graph below you can see that resistance jumps from one specific value to another, there's no in between.
Is this just the resolution of the A/D converter or are they being intentionally "rounded" to these values? I was expecting more resolution from the values as each jump in resistance is also a jump in temperature.
If they are being intentionally rounded, is there any possibility of accessing the raw resistances?

Re: Resistance readings.
Is your Y axis ohms/10? If so then the variance looks to be 20 ohms, which is not too bad and likely the resolution of the A/D. A 16 bit AD at a 100 kOhm range would vield a resolution of 1.5 ohms.

Re: Resistance readings.
The BCS uses a 10 bit ADC. I think what you're seeing is a result of the resolution of the ADC.
We don't do any rounding in software, although we do a running average / oversample to smooth out temperature fluctuations.
