DAT64F-E Step Attenuator 6GHz

The DS Instruments DAT64F-E Step Attenuator is a compact stand-alone and USB-controlled RF Step Attenuator with 0.25dB steps and a range of 0 to 63dB. This premium version features a bright OLED display and front user control buttons. Input frequency ranges from 100MHz to 6GHz. No host PC is required to use this device. Automated scripted control is extremely easy requiring no extra drivers, just a simple virtual COM port connection and SCPI based text commands.

The DAT64F is a stand-alone wide-band precision attenuator instrument with attenuation range from 0 to 63 dB and a 0.25dB step size. Typical insertion loss is below 6dB. Control of the attenuation setting can be accomplished both by the user interface, via USB port, or optional Ethernet jack.

Remote Operation

Industry standard SCPI commands allow the DAT64F 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 DAT64F as if it were a standard serial COM device without any additional drivers.
