thank you,
so you confirm it is the clock noise.
in the text they sayed :  e.g. to
control an external clock suppression filter as the A-188-2 is not
equipped
with such a filter (same as for the A-188-1).
so it is possible to supress this clock noise, do you know how i can do
? Is there a specific module wich permit to avoid this clock noise?
