Attenuation:
The program data syntax for <Attenuation> is
defined as a <numeric_value> element
followed by an optional <SUFFIX PROGRAM
DATA> element. The allowed <SUFFIX
PROGRAM DATA> element is DB. The
<Attenuation> special forms MINimum,
MAXimum and DEFault are accepted on input.
MINimum allows to set the instrument to the
smallest supported value.
MAXimum allows to set the instrument to the
greatest supported value.
DEFault allows the instrument to select a value
for the <Attenuation> parameter.
The <Attenuation> parameter is the new power

always a positive value.
