They serve as a constant multiplier of the signal. They are not
directly tied to a calibrated power level. As part of the work on the
USRP2, there has been some discussion of a normalized power level /
signal level going to/from the USRP2, measured at some not yet
determined reference point in the system. There would need to be a
framework that knew about the various daughterboards, etc.

There are several ways you could do this. Average magnitude squared is one way.
