Amplitude units cannot be dBm if output termination set to high impedance. Calculating dBm requires finite load
impedance. In this case, units are converted to Vpp.
You can convert between units. For example, to convert 2 Vpp to Vrms equivalent:
Press [Units] > Amplitude Vpp > Amplitude Vrms.
The converted value is 707.1 mVrms for a sinewave.
Front Panel Operations
Press [Units] > Amplitude.
SCPI Command
[SOURce[1|2]:]VOLTage:UNIT {VPP|VRMS|DBM}
Output Termination
The instrument has a fixed series output impedance of 50 Ω to the front panel channel connectors. If the actual load
impedance differs from the value specified, the displayed amplitude and offset levels will be incorrect. The load
impedance setting is simply a convenience to ensure that the displayed voltage matches the expected load.
Output termination: 1 Ω to 10 kΩ, or infinite. The default is 50 Ω.
If you specify a 50 Ω termination but actually terminate into an open circuit, the output will be twice the value
specified. For example, if you set the DC offset to 100 mVDC(and specify a 50 Ω load) but terminate into an open
circuit, the actual offset will be 200 mVDC.
Changing output termination setting, adjusts displayed output amplitude and offset (no error is generated). If the
amplitude is 10 Vpp and you change the output termination setting from 50 Ω to "high impedance" (OUTPut
[1|2]:LOAD INF), the displayed amplitude doubles to 20 Vpp. Changing from "high impedance" to 50 Ω halves the
displayed amplitude. The output termination setting does not affect the actual output voltage; it only changes the
values displayed and queried from the remote interface. Actual output voltage depends on the connected load.
