 		 #143938 - So use cB instead!

Resolution for the output is ± 0.1dB.

Remember, "dB" means "deci Bel" - ie, one-tenth of a Bel.

0.1dB is 1cB - ie, 1 centi Bel (one-hundredth of a Bel).

If you just choose the appropriate unit, you can work entirely in integers!

(this is the basic principle behind fixed-point)

To display it in dB, simply adjust the decimal point "manually"
