Using the Attenuator
Setting Up the Attenuation
The attenuation can be set in two different ways. This section
describes how to set the attenuation by specifying the attenuation
factor and an offset (called a calibration factor).
"Selecting the Through-Power Mode" on page 70 describes how to
set the attenuation by specifying the power that gets through.

Entering the Attenuation Factor

The attenuation factor is shown at the top left of the display.
Edit the attenuation factor using the modify keys.
The filter attenuation is changed while you edit the attenuation
factor according to the equation:
Att (dB) = Att(dB) - Cal(dB)
filter
To edit the attenuation factor,
1. press A , and
TT
2. edit the factor using the Modify keys (see "Using the Modify
Keys" on page 29).
