If you have taken N samples, and if the FFT algorithm you're using is
consistent with the definition at the start of this article (which is
the standard one):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_derivation_of_the_discrete_Fourier_transform

then the only normalization is a factor of N (see the definition of the
inverse transform near the bottom of the article).

For example if one of the X_k's is non-zero, that could correspond to a
pure sine wave at frequency k/N with amplitude X_k/N (in units of 10
volts, in the case of your ADC, and I think there's no factor of 2).  

I say *could* because of aliasing, but if you've band-limited the
original signal before the FFT, that *is* what it corresponds to.

Does that answer the question?
