Setting a Reference Value
The Reference parameter is used to display the intensity of the output signal. This parameter
can be used only when the strength of the input signal is known. This serves to "
fl
ip" the scale,
displaying larger numbers for smaller attenuation values.
When in use, a letter "R" is displayed on the left side of the display. Note that the Base
Attenuation and Reference parameters can be used simultaneously. When both of these
features are in use, the letter "R" and a "+" symbol are displayed on the left side of the display.
See
