DAC noise measurement (again) |

Since you're monitoring two channels simultaneously, you could try subtracting them, as an alternative to carving out bandstops.
- Drive both channels with the same time series
- Tweak the filter module gains if needed to equalize the analog outputs
- Apply SR785 user math to subtract the two channels (or A-B mode of a single input, if you're not using that already?)
- Measure the residual, which should be the incoherent part containing DAC + coil driver noise
Subtraction can conceal certain annoying effects (like numerical noise or level crossing glitches) that remain coherent for two identical outputs. It might be worth experimenting with a differential offset or sinusoid, to try to break up that kind of coherence if it exists. |
