Setting Up Your Variable Attenuator

Basic Settings

Input Power

The Input Power setting, only available in the Attenuation control mode,
allows you to set the source power in dBm. This changes the attenuation
scale values in the Control Center to the equivalent values of the output
power in dBm. You can then use the slider to select an output power value
rather than an attenuation value. It is not as precise as the Output Power
control mode but it is still useful for certain test applications.

To select an input in dBm:
1.
On the Settings function tab, click the Presets tab.

2. Under B Value, under Attenuation Mode, click the Input Power

button.

3. In the box next to Input Power, enter the source power in dBm.

4. Click Apply.
