Attenuation
Sets the RF front-end attenuator to allow high-level signals to pass through the mixer
with low distortion, and low-level signals to pass through the mixer with low noise.
Remarks:
 The attenuator consists of fixed attenuator and variable attenuator. The
attenuation of the fixed attenuator is 20 dB, and the attenuation range of the
variable attenuator is from 0 dB to 30 dB. Therefore, the input attenuation
ranges from 0 dB to 50 dB.
 When the set attenuation amount is greater than 20 dB, fixed attenuator is
preferred to be used by default.
 When the maximum mixer level and reference level are confirmed, the minimum
of the input attenuation should meet the following equation:

 You can use the numeric keys, the knob, and the arrow keys on the front panel
to modify this parameter; also you can modify it on the touchscreen. For details,
refer to descriptions in "Parameter Setting".
