*"Absolute maximum number of steps".
*"Amplitude reference":

 By clicking on Decimate amplitude, a pop-up window appears with the following options:
-*''Absolute maximum number of steps'' is the number of amplitude bins that should be used for positive values. Ex: a value of 1 leads to three amplitude bins: -1, 0 and 1 (1-bit signal).
+*''Absolute maximum number of steps'' is the number of amplitude bins that should be used for positive values. Ex: a value of 1 leads to three amplitude bins: -1, 0 and 1.
 *''Amplitude reference'' allows to define the value of largest amplitude bin. It can be set to:
 **''Value'', i.e. a specified value, e.g. 1 Volt to simulate a 2V peak-to-peak digitization.
