Interesting. It seems for me that there is a dependence of the noisiness as the beat frequency is
scanned.
As you increase (or decrease?) the offset, C1:ALS-BEATY-COARSE_I_IN1 becomes bigger and more crisp.

Is that time stamp really correct? I wanted to look at the signal closely to see if I could get any feeling for why it would look so different
when positive vs. negative, but I do not see a triangle anywhere near this time (1023780144)...
