It is recommended to use the default dither size unless a residual bias error is constantly observed. In
such cases, increasing the step size can improve the bias convergence accuracy.
Setting the dither interval
The DITHER INTERVAL value for each modulator can be set in the ADVANCED tab by clicking the
parameter field, or by using the + and
–
control buttons to increase or decrease the value by a set
amount.
Alternatively, the DITHER INTERVAL can also be set to the MIN and MAX value by clicking the dropdown
in the name of the parameter.
The dither interval determines how frequently the bias control dither is applied. Lower dither interval will
result in a faster convergence, while a higher dither interval will result in a more stable bias control.
