Is the ADC from the secondary microcontroler available on the pins of programmable XBee Pro 900HP?

This is very confusing! In the User Guide, page 22, the figure shows that ADC pins are connected to the internal microcontroller which has 10-bit resolution. But in the Knowledge Base webpage here

http://knowledge.digi.com/articles/Knowledge_Base_Article/Digital-and-analog-sampling-using-XBee-radios

it says that: “The secondary micro-controller on this XBee is connected to the ADC pins instead of the RF processor.”
Moreover, the ADC on the secondary micro-controller (MC9S08QE32 has 12-bit resolution.

Thanks for any help!

Yes you have the ability to use either processor on the Programmable XBee modules. You can use either the RF processor or the Freescale. Just remember to disable which ever one you do not use.
