Distortion is seen on RX6 DAC outputs when signals with amplitude greater than 10 V are played out

Tech Note: TN0233
Product: RX6
Version: Microcode version 62 and below
Date Added: 2007-01-07

Issue

If a signal with amplitude greater than 10 V is sent to a DAC on an RX6 with microcode 62 and below, the output will be distorted. More distortion is seen in signals with greater amplitudes.

Solution

Update to latest version of TDT Drivers. After installing the drivers, reprogram the RX6 with the new microcode. After reprogramming, all signals greater than 10 V presented to the DACs will be clipped to 10 V.
