Koji noticed an odd feature of the DAC output:

mode of the PRM, I made a simple measurement
of the decay rate.
  
  8613   Wed May 22 11:09:33 2013 JamieSummaryCDSWeird DAC bit flipping at half integer output valuesAfter querying CDS folks about this issue,
I got some responses that indicated the problems
was likely limit-cycle oscillations due to

  8614   Wed May 22 11:21:28 2013 KojiSummaryCDSWeird DAC bit flipping at half integer output valuesIs this limit cycle caused by the residual
of the digital AI filtering at the half sampling
freq and that his the threshold?

  8616   Wed May 22 15:08:37 2013 KojiSummaryCDSWeird DAC bit flipping at half integer output valuesIt seems that the effect is from the (linear)
residual fluctuation of the digital AI filter
for the zero-padded signal.
