Changing the "gain" (part of the "alternate input limits" cluster) appears to affect the group settings, but when I pass a signal outside the supposed new voltage range, the signal doesn't clip as I would expect. This doesn't happen when I use MAX (where clipping is clearly visible), but unfortunately that is not an acceptable long-term solution. Any thoughts? I am only using allowable gain settings for the 6110E.
Additionally, I am saving my data in hsdl format, and to get the actual true voltage from the binary numbers (after uncompressing and converting back to standard binar
y format) I need to multiply the final number by the gain. Should this be correct? I thought the "scale multiplier" (part of "group settings cluster") compensated for "gain", but it doesn't seem to do so. Is this part of the same problem?
