Setting the Input Attenuation
The input attenuation is set to bring the input signal down to an optimum level range below +30 dBm and to
protect the input stage of the analyzer from damage. The input attenuation can be selected between Manual or
Auto. The Auto attenuation settings are based on the internal mixer and reference levels currently set on the
analyzer. The Manual attenuation level must be appropriately set based on the input signal level.
1. Press the Amp icon on the main menu bar, or press the Amplitude key on the instrument front panel, to
display the Amplitude menu below:
2. Select Manual or Auto from the Manual/Auto toggle button.
3. If manual attenuation is selected, press in the Attenuation parameter field and use the keypad to enter
the desired attenuation level, then select the appropriate amplitude terminator from the fly-out menu.
