#182091 - No need to align with any zero axis
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Just add a DC offset to the signal and let the ADC measure the curve.

Use a MUX so you can measure the exact DC voltage too. Then you know in software how many ticks to subtract and will be able to recreate a zero-relative curve.

If you know that the original signal doesn't have any DC component then you can instead just have a sw-only high-pass filter that "floats" the measured curve until you have found how much to subtract from the ADC readings until you get symmetric data.
