The dial calibration on the output attenuator of a signal generator:

  • always reads the true output of the signal generator
  • reads twice the true output when the attenuator is properly terminated
  • reads half the true output when the attenuator is properly terminated
  • Correct Answer
    reads accurately only when the attenuator is properly terminated
