Description
Specifies the RF input attenuation.
Although the attenuation level in the X-series of analyzers can be specified using absolute values, you
can never set attenuation below 10 dB using the DOWN steps. This is a safety feature to prevent
inadvertent setting of attenuation to a level that could damage the analyzer.
NOTE In PXA/MXA, the auto attenuation range is 6-70 dB and in EXA, it is 6-60 dB.
CAUTION Signal levels above +30 dBm will damage the signal analyzer.
NOTE You cannot step down below 10 dB. To set levels below 10 dB, you must specify
the attenuation absolutely. For example, to set attenuation to 0 dB, you must use
the command AT 0DB.
