Description
During normal operation, the instrument’s input attenuation is coupled to the reference level. This
coupling keeps the mixer input at a level such that a continuous wave signal displayed at the
reference level is at or below –10 dBm (or the value specified in the ML command.)
The CA command sets the threshold to –10 dBm (or to the value specified by the commands "ML
(Mixer Level)" on page 411 or "KS, (Mixer Level)" on page 318 ). The counterpart to the CA
command is "AT (Input Attenuation)" on page 236 , which allows levels less than the threshold
value at the mixer input.
