when the signal of DAC apply to the LPF, INL and DNL become worse. what is the reason? how to improve them
 

try to test the code for a long time
 

test code for a long time . you mean delay a long time?
 

The INL/DNL are affected by the non-linearity of your low pass filter, if it is not good enough. I suggest you test it separately (apply a sinewave and measure the distortion).

thanks maxwellequ. if i test the distortion of LPF what should i do? fft is right?
 

You should see if the distortion introduced by the LPF is low enough. Any distortion problem in the filter would worsen the INL that you are measuring. You should evaluate the distortion using a good signal generator (measure its distortion too) and a spectrum analyzer (it makes the FFT inside).
