I took the output of the OMC DAC and plugged it directly into an OMC ADC channel to see if I could isolate the OMC DAC weirdness I'd been seeing.  It looks like it may have something to do with DTT specifically.

Attachment 1 is a DTT transfer function of a BNC cable and some connectors (plus of course the AI and AA filters in the OMC system).  It looks like this on both linux and solaris.

Attachment 2 is a transfer function using sweepTDS (in mDV), which uses TDS tools as the driver for interfacing with testpoints and DAQ channels. 

Attachment 3 is a triggered time series, taken with DTT, of the same channels as used in the transfer functions, during a transfer function.  I think this shows that the problem lies not with awg or tpman, but with how DTT is computing transfer functions. 

I've tried soft reboots of the c1omc, which didn't work.   Since the TDS version appears to work, I suspect the problem may actually be with DTT.
