This subsystem controls the characteristics of the analyzer’s input ports.  

 

Command tree: INPut

:ATTenuation


INPut<port_no>:ATTenuation <numeric_value>

Sets the attenuation for the received waves.

Note: INPut<port_no>:ATTenuation is not channel-specific; the value is valid for all channels. Use [SENSe<Ch>:]POWer<port_no>:ATTenuation to set or query a channel-specific attenuation value.

<port_no>

Test port number of the analyzer, 1 to 2, 3 or 4, depending on the analyzer model. If unspecified the numeric suffix is set to 1.

<numeric_value>

Attenuation factor for the received wave.

Range [def. unit]

Depending on the analyzer/attenuator model, e.g. 0 dB to 35 dB for ZVA24/ZVA24-B31/32 [dB]. UP and DOWN increment/decrement the attenuation in 5-dB steps. The analyzer rounds any entered value below the maximum attenuation to the closest 5-dB step.  

*RST value

0 dB

 

SCPI, Command Types

Confirmed, no query (query can not return channel-specific settings, would be misleading).  

 

Example:

INP2:ATT 10

Set the step attenuator for the wave received at port 2 and for all channels to 10 dB. The waves at the other test ports are not affected.
