Definition
With dBm selected, a voltage measurement is displayed as the level of power, relative
to 1 milliwatt, dissipated through a reference resistance. The reference resistance is
adjustable in DL-1060. The calculation of dBm is defined as below:

Note 2: Change of reference resistance will not affect the stored relative reference
value.
※
Note 3: The Zref is adjustable with a range from
50Ω
to 8
000 Ω. The default value
is 600 Ω.
※
Note 4:The defined selected reference value is storedin a volatile memory and will
becleared after the multimeter has been power-off.
※
Note 5: This feature is available for DCV and ACV only.
