If ADATE in ADCSRA is written to one, the value of these bits selects
which source will trigger an ADC conversion. If ADATE is cleared, the ADTS[2:0]
settings will have no effect. A conversion will be triggered by the rising edge
of the selected Interrupt Flag. Note that switching from a trigger source that
is cleared to a trigger source that is set, will generate a positive edge on the
trigger signal. If ADEN in ADCSRA is set, this will start a conversion.
Switching to Free Running mode (ADTS[2:0]=0) will not cause a trigger event,
even if the ADC Interrupt Flag is set.
