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 202
— How Scaling Eliminates DAC Over–Range Errors on page 203
— Keysight MXG/EXG waveform scaling on page 204 and page 205:
— 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
