dB
Each dB measurement is different between the input signal and a stored relative value, with both
values converted to dBm. The dB function applies to AC voltage and DC voltage measurements only.

The computation method of the dB:
dB = 10 x Log10 [(Reading2/ R
REF
) / 0.001W] – (dB setting value)
R
REF
expressed measuring the resistance value in the actual electric circuit. Range of the dB setting
value: -120 dBm ~ +120 dBm. The default is 0 dBm.
dB value:
⚫ Input a value in dB setting interface by direction button, and then store it as dB setting value.
⚫ Settings of dB value are stored in volatile memory.
