Attenuator Help

[subby]

I was about to buy one of the new Instek programmable Function Generators when I noticed that the resolution of the output was 10mv

I was hoping to be able to set : 20kHz @ 42mv p-p

If this is the case, I have seen small plugin attenuators that I can buy from RS components. What I was thinking was to use 420mv and one of these attenuators to divide it by 10 down to 42mv

do you think this would be a solution ? if so, what db would it have to be ?

many thanks in advance
