:INPut:ATTenuation 
Syntax     :INPut:ATTenuation <wsp> 
<value>[DB]|MIN|DEF|MAX
Description     This command sets the attenuation factor for 
the instrument. The attenuation factor is used, 
with the calibration factor (see ) to set the filter 
attenuation.
Attenuation
filter
(dB) = Att(dB) - Cal(dB)
You set the attenuation factor by sending a 
value (default units are dB), or by sending 
MIN, DEF or MAX, which specify the 
minimum, default and maximum values for the 
attenuation factor.
The minimum value and the default value are 
those values for which Attenuation
filter
 = 0dB. 
The maximum value is that value for which 
Attenuation
filter
 is at its greatest.
