Basic Digital Operation (Option 651/652/654)Scaling a WaveformScaling a WaveformThe signal generator uses an interpolation algorithm (sampling between the I/Q data points) whenreconstructing a waveform. For common waveforms, this interpolation can cause overshoots, whichmay create a DAC over–range error condition. This chapter describes how DAC over–range errorsoccur and how you can use waveform scaling to eliminate these errors.• How DAC Over–Range Errors Occur on page 189• How Scaling Eliminates DAC Over–Range Errors on page 190• Agilent MXG waveform scaling on page 191 and page 192:— Waveform runtime scaling to scale a currently–playing waveform— Waveform scaling to permanently scale either the currently playing waveform, or anon–playing waveform file in BBG mediaFigure 8-12 Scaling SoftkeysThe settings in this menucan be stored to the fileheader, see page 149.Waveform Runtime Scaling, see page 191.Waveform Scaling, see page 192.For details on each key, use key helpas described on page 42.188 Agilent N5161A/62A/81A/82A/83A MXG Signal Generators User’s Guide
