JFW has a new 50 Ohm 4 channel USB attenuator to help automate your RF testing.  JFW model 50P-2089 SMA operates from 200-6000Mhz with attenuation range 0 to 95dB by 1dB steps.  All four attenuators are individually controlled.  Test software is provided with the USB attenuator.  If you would like to integrate the USB attenuator into your script testing, we do offer a JFW Python library upon request.
