## Description

Turns on and off compensation for the selected Keysight probe attenuator.

You can select from a list of Keysight probe attenuators using the `:CHANnel:PROBe:ACCessories:ATTenuator:SELect` command, and the proper attenuation settings will be known.

When using a probe attenuator that is not a known Keysight model, it can be considered external hardware, and you can specify its attenuation/gain/dB settings using the :CHANnel External Scaling Commands.
