271 Getting Started Manual Effect of the output attenuator The instrument has an output attenuator with fixed steps of 20 dB. The attenuator follows the output stages so any dc offset added to the waveform is subject to the attenuator. With the waveform amplitude set to 4 V p-p the attenuator is swi...
