JFW Industries, Inc. Solid State USB Programmable Attenuator 50P-2068

Description
Model 50P-2068 is a USB controlled solid-state programmable attenuator operating 100 MHz to 18 GHz. It has a maximum attenuation setting of 31 dB with 1 dB step size. It is 50 Ohm impedance with SMA female coaxial RF connectors. This attenuator is rated for +20dBm RF input power. USB Test software Features: Test software manual available for download. Auto-discovery of any JFW USB attenuators connected to the computer. Control attenuator(s) using a slider bar, increment buttons, or manually entering the attenuation value. Set persistent device names for better organization of complex test scenarios. Create test scripts that can control many attenuators. Fade and Handover commands can be executed in Sequential or Synchronous mode. Saving and Loading of scripts in JSON format. Requires Microsoft Windows Vista or greater. Requires Dot Net Framework 4.0 or greater. Python Library Available If you would prefer to control the USB attenuators using Python instead of our standard Windows based test program, JFW does offer a Python library (jfwusb.py). Email our engineering department for the Python library and examples. Python Library Features: Auto-discovery of any JFW USB devices connected to the computer. Set persistent device names for each attenuator. Set/read attenuator by its device number. Set/read attenuator by its serial number. Set/read attenuator by its user defined name. Set all attenuators to the same dB value, min dB value, or max dB value.
