My SSP recorded some events greater than the advertised full-scale range. Is there something wrong?
Not at all. Every system is capable of measuring beyond the advertised full-scale range. The advertised range is the ABSOLUTE range, which is guaranteed to be a valid measurement. the remaining range area is reserved for digital offset correction. Thus, a signal beyond the absolute full-scale range might be valid, or it might be clipped at the A/D converter. Because the SSP does not store the digitized waveform, there is no way of knowing. The chance of a signal being clipped rises the farther you go beyond the absolute full-scale range. I have a PDF that explains it further: SSP Digital Offset explained!
