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 195
• How Scaling Eliminates DAC Over–Range Errors on page 196
• Agilent MXG/EXG waveform scaling on page 197 and page 198:
— 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
