The small amount of variation in gain with respect to frequency is called the passband flatness. The digital filters of the NI 9233 adjust the frequency range of the passband to match the data rate. Therefore, the amount of gain or attenuation at a given NI 9233 Operating Instructions and Specifications ni.com...
