2.8.3 The dBm Operation
dBm is an decibel unit represents the absolute value of power, and is relative to 1mW. The dBm operation
is to work out the power of reference resistance by measured voltage. The dBm operation is only suitable
for AC/DC voltage measurement.
Press → [dBm] → [On] to enter the interface of Figure 2-44.

The operating method of dBm
In dBm operation, the measured voltage can be transferred to dBm value by formula below:
dBm = 10 x Log10 [(Reading2/RREF)/0.001W]
2.8.4 dB Operation
dB represents relative value and is applied to the relative operation of dBm. The dB operation is only
suitable for AC/DC voltage measurement.
Press → [dB] → [On] to enter the interface of Figure 2-45.
