A channelizer attenuation (0-31db).

Input Format:

An integer number of decibels of attenuation over the range 0 to 31.

Use with do-loops:

When an Attenuation variable is used as the dependent variable of a do-loop, the associated loop increment is specified as an Integer constant.

Examples:

The following example sets the attenuation that is inserted into the signal paths of all correlator input channels to 12db.

  attenuate all, all, 12

Context:

The signal levels at the correlator inputs are determined by the settings of attenuators in the channelizer module. These attenuators can insert between 0 and 31 decibels, programable in 1db steps. The Attenuator datatype is used by the attenuate command for specifying the inserted attenuation of one or more correlator inputs.
