>This is what you can expect to see if you cut >a square wave off at 10 times its frequency: Umm, maybe, but that graph only has a subset of the harmonics in it. In practice, the cut off frequency will normally be at -3db, and so there will be some higher harmonics at a lower amplitude than they would otherwise be. The result is that on an analogue scope you don't tend to see the ringing except at the edges. However I guess the device in question is using an A/D to digitise the signal, so whatever filter is in there will have a much steeper slope with a true filter going down to a notch, so that graph may well be closer to what one would see. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
