2.2 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.

The filter attenuation is changed while you edit the attenuation
factor according to the equation:
Att

(dB) = Att(dB) - Cal(dB)
To edit the attenuation factor,
1. press A
TT, and
2. edit the factor using the Modify keys (see Using the Modify
Keys on page 29).
