7.8 Overload
The overload LEDs in the input/output modules serve a number of functions and do not
simply indicate signal overload. Possible indications include
a
:
• Signal overload
Signal overload is caused by signals levels that are too high for the signal analysis
chain to handle. Overload can be caused by both in-band signals and out-of-band sig-
nals, referring to the frequency range selected for data acquisition and analysis.
The signal overload is designed to always indicate overload whenever signal is in risk
of being distorted or clipped.
For “in-band frequencies”, overload will be indicated for signal levels exceeding the
