I thought I understood this but appears that I had it wrong. According to the SMTR calibration procedure, it is set with the PRE on and ATTN off. Calibration sets a 50uV signal to S9 and a 1uV to S2-S3. See this in the Calibration Procedures section of the manual (p51 in my 2009 version).
I’ve been using the SMTR ABS mode ever since I discovered it.
