MATH<x>:SPECTral:REFLEVELOffset
Description
This command sets or returns the spectral level offset used for calculat-
ing the dB value for the specified math waveform. The Math waveform
is specified by x, which ranges from 1 through 4 for four--channel in-
struments or 1 through 2 for two --channel instruments. Changing the
reference level offset causes the spectral waveform to move vertically,
with respect to zero dB. This command is equal to selecting Spectral
Setup from the Math menu, choosing the Mag tab and then entering a
value in the Reference Level Offset box.

Arguments
H DBM
This specifies the reference level used for calculation to be equivalent
to1mWinto50Ù(ZerodBwilloccuratthislevel).
H <NR3>
This specifies the reference level used for calculation of the decibel
value when the output units are Log.
Example 1
MATH1:SPECTral:REFLEVELOFFset 0.5
This sets the reference level for the Log calculation for decibel to be
0.5. dB = A x Log(y/<NR3>) where A is 10 if the input units are watts
and A is 20 if the input units are otherwise.
Example 2
MATH1:SPECTral:REFLEVELOffset DBM
This sets the decibel reference to be equivalent to 1 mW into 50 Ù. The
reference level numerical value will depend on the input units. If the
units are volts, the value is set to 0.2236 V; if the units are amperes, the
value is set to 40 µA; if the units are watts, the value is set to 0.001 W.
