signal. Crest factor is the ratio of a signal's peak value to its RMS value and varies according to waveshape. The table
below shows several common waveforms with their respective crest factors and RMS values.
If an average-reading voltmeter is used to measure the "DC voltage" of a waveform, the reading may not agree with
the DC Offset setting. This is because the waveform may have a non-zero average value that would be added to the
DC Offset.
You may occasionally see AC levels specified in "decibels relative to 1 milliwatt" (dBm). Since dBm represents a
power level, you need to know the signal's RMS voltage and the load resistance in order to make the calculation.
dBm = 10 x log
(P / 0.001) where P = VRMS

For a sine wave into a 50 Ω load, the following table relates dBm to voltage.

-16.02 dBm
-30.00 dBm
-36.02 dBm
-50.00 dBm
-56.02 dBm
For 75 Ω or 600 Ω loads, use the following conversions:
dBm (75 Ω) = dBm (50 Ω) – 1.76
