INPUT BNC

Source signal input. The maximum input voltage is ± 10 V peak.

OUTPUT BNC

Attenuated signal output.

PA5 Manual Operation

In manual operation, the PA5 is operated using front panel controls. The menu options are
viewed by turning the Select knob and entered by pressing and releasing the knob. The module
must 

fi

rst be set to Attn or UserAtt mode to manually adjust attenuation.

To access a menu:

Turn the knob until the name of the desired menu appears on the display, then press and
release the knob. The module has two levels of menus.

Top-level menu items are indicated by a single 

fi

lled box in the upper left corner of the

menu display, and sub-menus are indicated with an additional indicator box for each level.
Only   the   UserOps   menu   item   has   sub-menu   items.   See  

PA5   Display   Icons

  for   more

information.

For a de

fi

nition of each menu item:

Turn the 

Select

 knob until the name of the menu appears on the display, then press and

hold down the 

Select

 knob. A description of the menu function will scroll across the

display.

To exit a menu without changing settings:

Press and release the 

ESC

 button.

The PA5 is powered via the zBus and must be connected to the PC via an interface module during manual
operation.
