  • \log_{10} ''second'' instead of ''second''. For example, one microsecond is 10---\log_{10} 0.000 001 = 10---(-6) = -60. To convert -30 read on the scale to second calculate 10^{-30/10} = 10^{-3} = 0.001 second = one millisecond. A step of 10 units on the scale is ten times longer than the previous step.
