Another thought:

Your scope should have a test-square-wave output on the front. It's
analog and you should calibrate your probes on it using the little
adjustment-screw (capacitor).

Also, something that Mr. O observed already
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=348946&postcount=46) but
I'd like to repeat it here because it's the 2nd more obvious part of
the distortion:

1. phase distortion. When you bring that to the picture, it means that
the tops are not horizontal anymore. Look at fig. 6.7 here:
http://www.tpub.com/neets/book23/101a.htm
You normally get this when passing the signal through a filter and the
higher the order of the filter, the more tilted it gets. But where's
the filter in the TACT? (a digital software filter shouldn't do that
and I'm not familiar enough with DSP's to tell if they cause phase
distortion like this...)

2. AM modulation. The 2 kHz modulation is obvious and this is the 2nd
harmonic of the fundamental. Measuring at different frequencies will
show if it's a persistant 2nd harmonic modulation. I have no clue yet
where this can come from...

cheers,
Nick.
