I'm using a rail-to-rail op amp (LM6132) with its power rails at -5V and +5V, connected to a function generator. I expect to be able to give it a maximum signal of 10V peak-to-peak ((i.e. -5V to +5V)) without seeing much clipping, but as soon as the signal reaches about 4.9V peak-to-peak, clipping begins. Could anyone help me understand why this is?

Thanks in advance!

edit: pictures! The oscilloscope shows the measurement from the wire pointed at by the arrow, with the input signal being 5.5V peak-to-peak Where the arrow is pointing towards the area of measurementwithout the wrong label the oscilloscope measuring from the arrow, showing clipping. Input signal has peak-to-peak amplitude of 5.5V
