Anritsu FAQs

In the MS2711B I attached a 30 dB attenuator to the input port. What should I set the reference level offset to so that the MS2711B automatically compensates for that attenuator?
answer
The reference level offset should always be equal to whatever loss or gain is added externally. If you add an attenuator, the RL offset should be negative. If you add gain, the RL offset should be positive. In this case, the RL offset = -30
