Min 0dB
The attenuation set by this control cannot be decreased below 6dB with the knob or step keys. To get
to a value below 6dB it has to be directly entered from the keypad or via SCPI. This protects from
adjusting the attenuation to a dangerously small value which can put the instrument at risk of damage
to input circuitry. However, if the current mechanical attenuation is below 6dB it can be increased with
the knob and step keys, but not decreased
Max CXA Option 503 or 507: 50 dB

Max Dual attenuator configuration: 24dB
Single attenuator configuration: the total of ATT and EATT cannot exceed 50 dB, so if the EATT is set to
24 dB first, the main attenuation cannot be greater than 26 dB and will be reduced accordingly; if the
main attenuator is set to 40 dB first, EATT cannot be greater than 10 dB
LNA
Turn on/off Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) for each component carriers.
