The DAT306K Compact RF Attenuator

The DAT306K is a stand-alone wide-band digital microwave attenuator instrument rated from 1 to 30GHz. Attenuation varies from 0 to 60 dB with a 0.50dB minimum step size. Insertion loss is typically below 10dB. The DAT306K is a tri-control device, attenuation setting can be changed by the user interface, via USB port serial commands, or with the Ethernet interface.

Remote Operation

Industry standard SCPI commands allow the DAT306K to be controlled by any host system with a USB interface. The USB port is configured as a virtual COM port allowing user software to access the DAT306K as if it were a standard serial COM device without any additional drivers.
