"That code, like most ADEV calculations, assumes you have phase data..."

In my case, the phase data wraps at each DAC change.  Do I need to unwrap it, 
or change it to delta values?  I haven't read enough about ADEV to get a feel 
of what I want, or what this group means when someone say ADEV of xx.  I 
suspect that I need phase deltas from sample to sample to get the allan 
deviation of the phase changes?  Since mine wraps, I'm not sure if an ADEV even 
means anything.
