dB / StepThis control is display-only in Meter mode. When you enter a Volts value, this shows the equivalent dB change from the previous (louder, less-negative step number) value. In Init Table of Match mode, this control specifies a dB value to be assumed for each step of the attenuator. This is only to serve as a convenient starting point, since some attenuators have many steps of the same size. In Step Edit of Match mode, this control specifies a dB value for the attenuator step selected by the Left Step control above it. If you are using the cancellation method, adjust this value until you hear a null (or a minimum). If you are using the alternating method, adjust for a steady tone. After you find the match point, adjust Left Step to the next-lower (more negative) step and repeat. Note that it is extremely common to have steps where you will need to enter 0 here to get a match. That means that there is no change from the prior (louder) step. This happens when the sound card maker (or Windows) declares that the card has more steps than it actually has, and inserts dummy steps throughout the range so that the standard Windows mixer sliders appear to have finer resolution. To avoid having to enter each of these 0 values manually, Init Table defaults to setting 0 for all steps, so you only need to enter values for the truly functional steps.
