DAT Invert

Controls: DD/Open >> DAT Format >> Invert
Macro: DATinv

If the data in the .DAT file was obtained with an inverting system, this toggle allows Daqarta to correct it. Signal inversion is a common situation, which may be due to an inverting sensor, preamp, or other extenal gain stage. Many sound cards invert recorded signals.

Note that the inversion applies to all channels if you specify 'Stereo', '4-Chan', or '8-Chan' with the .DAT Channels control. Only the .DQA format keeps track of polarity on individual channels.

Macro Notes:

DATinv=1 sets Invert on, DATinv=0 sets it off (uninverted), and DATinv=x toggles the current state.
