You cannot disable dither on the 611X E board. This is because the
ADC resolution is so fine that the ADC and the PGIA inherently
produce almost 0.5 LSBrms of noise. This is equivalent to having a
dither circuit that is always enabled.

The 611X E board supplies two channels of analog output voltage at the
I/O connector. The range is fixed at bipolar ±10 V.
