The unit subsystem is used to modify the default units used for related parameters. These changes affect parameters in both commands and responses.
:UNIT:POWer:RX DBM|WATT|VOLT
Description
Sets the receiver unit to dBm, Watts, or Volts. If the unit is set to dBm, the PTC-ACSES Signal Analyzer received power, burst power, peak envelope power, and the squelch setting will be set and queried in dBm. If the unit is set to Watts or Volts, those values will be set and queried in fW or fV, respectively.
Cmd Parameters

Example
To set the receiver units to watts:
:UNIT:POWer:RX WATT
Front Panel Access
Amplitude>Units>Rx Units. Then select a unit from the list in the Unit Type Selector.
:UNIT:POWer:RX?
Description
Returns the receiver unit of DBM, WATT, or VOLT.

:UNIT:POWer:TX DBM|WATT|VOLT
Description
Sets the generator unit to dBm, Watts, or Volts. If the unit is set to dBm, the Tx Output Lvl setting will be set and queried in dBm. If the unit is set to Watts, the Tx Output Lvl setting will be set and queried in fW. If the unit is set to Volts, the Tx Output Lvl will be set and queried in fV.
