17Class for HTTP control of Mini-Circuits RCDAT series attenuators
18
19This class provides a wrapper to the MC-RCDAT attenuator modules for purposes
20of simplifying and abstracting control down to the basic necessities. It is
21not the intention of the module to expose all functionality, but to allow
22interchangeable HW to be used.
