Scale Type
Set the scale type of Y-axis to Lin or Log. The default is Log.
Key Points:

In Log scale type, the Y-axis denotes the logarithmic coordinate; the value
shown at the top of the grid is the reference level and each grid represents the
scale value. The unit of Y-axis will automatically switch to the default unit
(dBm) in Log scale type when the scale type is changed from Lin to Log.

In Lin scale type, the Y-axis denotes the linear coordinate; the values shown
at the top of the grid and the bottom of the grid are the reference level and 0
V respectively. Each grid represents 10% of the reference level and the scale
setting function is invalid. The unit of Y-axis will automatically switch to the
default unit (Volts) in Lin scale type when the scale type is changed from Log
to Lin.

The scale type does not affect the unit of Y-axis.
