LDC1101: waveform configuration

Part Number: LDC1101

Dear friends, 

I am now working with STM32F103-LDC1101. 

After configuring the LDC1101, I found that the output waveform is not similar to the datasheet. 

Here is the output waveform from INA and INB. 

Please help me to configure the LDC1101 to generate the output waveform similar to EVM. 

Thank you
