Scaling a Waveform
Scaling a Waveform
The signal generator uses an interpolation algorithm (sampling between the I/Q data points) when
reconstructing a waveform. For common waveforms, this interpolation can cause overshoots, which
may create a DAC over- range error condition. This chapter describes how DAC over- range errors
occur and how you can use waveform scaling to eliminate these errors.
• How DAC Over- Range Errors Occur on page 116
• How Scaling Eliminates DAC Over- Range Errors on page 117
• Agilent MXG waveform scaling on page 118 and page 119:
— Waveform runtime scaling to scale a currently- playing waveform
— Waveform scaling to permanently scale either the currently playing waveform, or a non- playing
waveform file in BBG media
