Oscope - Time Series Data Analysis Tool
| Oscope Professional | All versions (OS-2000 series) |
| Oscope 2 | All versions (OS-2500/2600/2700 series) |
Details of the problem
There was an error in the process of reading data from an ORF file and converting it to a voltage value. A one-bit difference occurred when converting 16-bit or 24-bit integer data to a voltage value.
- 16-bit stored ORF: Difference of 1/2 to the power of 15 (32,768) (maximum)
- 24-bit saved ORF: Difference of 1/2^23 (8,388,608) (maximum)
The difference is greatest in the input voltage range of 30 dBVrms (= 31.62 Vrms).
For 16-bit stored data, a maximum difference of 0.000965 Vrms can occur (31.62 Vrms × 1/32768 = 0.000965 Vrms).
The ratio is incorrect/correct = 31.62 / (31.62 - 0.000965) = 1.0000305, error 0.00305%.
Converting to dB, we get 20 × log10 (1.0000305) = 0.000265 dB.
