A voltage monitoring system having a microcontroller with an analog-to-digital converter with a first channel, and a memory device is provided. The microcontroller includes a monitoring application and a hardware abstraction layer. The monitoring application sends a first encoded channel number to the hardware abstraction layer. The hardware abstraction layer determines a first channel number based on the first encoded channel number, and obtains a measured voltage value associated with the first channel number. The hardware abstraction layer sends a second encoded channel number and the measured voltage value therein to the monitoring application. If the first encoded channel number is equal to the second encoded channel number, then the monitoring application stores the measured voltage value in the memory device.
