When you use "16-bit sample," do you mean that the value is represented by a 16-"digit" binary number, and can thus have any of 65,536 values (from 0 to 65,535)...right? So that means that the value of the step (say 30000) actually represents an analog value that could be anything from 29999.50..1 to 30000.49..9, which makes the maximum inaccuracy 1/(65536/2)...is right?
