Variable Attenuator

109

Product-Specific Commands—Description

:INPut[1..n]:RATTenuation?

Description

This query returns either the current or the

minimum/maximum relative attenuation.

At *RST, the relative attenuation value that will be

set depends on the instrument you have.

Syntax

:INPut[1..n]:RATTenuation?[<wsp>MAXimum|

MINimum|DEFault]

Parameter(s)

Parameter 1:

The program data syntax for the first parameter is

defined as a <CHARACTER PROGRAM DATA>

element. The allowed <CHARACTER PROGRAM

DATA> elements for this parameter are:

MAXimum|MINimum|DEFault.

MINimum is used to retrieve the instrument's

lowest supported value.

MAXimum is used to retrieve the instrument's

highest supported value.

DEFault is used to retrieve the instrument's

default value.

Response Syntax

Response(s)

RelativeAttenuation:

The response data syntax for

<RelativeAttenuation> is defined as a <NR3

NUMERIC RESPONSE DATA> element.
