Features and Functions
dBm Scaling
The dBm function is logarithmic, comparing power delivered to a reference resistance, relative to 1 mil-
liwatt:
2
dBm = 10 x log
( reading
/ reference resistance / 1 mW )
10
The reference resistance value (Ref R) may be 50, 75, 93, 110, 124, 125, 135, 150, 250, 300, 500, 600
(default), 800, 900, 1000, 1200, or 8000 Ω. Press Ref R and use the front panel up and down arrows to
make your selection.
