2.1.13 Atten Step
Permits the selection of 2 dB or 10 dB step resolution for input attenuation.
Key Path:
AMPLITUDE / Y Scale
Saved State: Saved in instrument state
Factory Preset: 2 dB
Remote Command:
[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:ATTenuation:STEP[:INCRement] <integer> (in dB)
[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:ATTenuation:STEP[:INCRement]?
Example: POW:ATT:STEP 10
Sets the Attenuation to 10 dB. The only valid suffix is dB. If no suffix is
sent, dB is assumed.
If a value >5 is entered, 10 is used.
If a value
≤5 is entered, 2 is used
2.1.14 Max Mixer Lvl
Enables you to set the relationship between the highest signal that can be displayed (the
reference level) and the input attenuation. The relationship applies whenever the
Attenuation is set to Auto. The relationship is that the attenuation is given by reference
level minus the max mixer level. For example, as the reference level changes, the input
attunator changes to ensure that a signal at the reference level does not exceed the
Max
Mixer Lvl
setting.
