Parameters

<cnum>

Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.

<dataFormat>

Choose from:

• MLOG - Log magnitude

• MLIN - Linear magnitude

<units>

For unratioed MLOG measurements, choose from:

• DBM  Units are displayed in dBm.  0 dBm = 0.001 watt

• DBMV Units are displayed in dBmV.  0 dBmV = 0.001 volt

• DBMA Units are displayed in dBmA. 0 dBmA = 0.001 Ampere

For unratioed MLIN measurements, choose from:

• W -Units are displayed in  Watts
• V -Units are displayed in Volts
• A -Units are displayed in Amperes

Examples

CALC:FORM MLOG, DBM
calculate2:format mlog,dbmv
