Power Spectrum unit: Vrms or Vrms^2 - which one is correct?

[powersys]

power spectrum unit

A signal is attached to Channel-1 of an Agilent 35670A Dynamic Signal Analyzer. The unit of the signal measured by the analyzer is as follows:

Time Capture (time domain): Volt (V)
Linear Spectrum (frequency domain): Volt-RMS (Vrms)
Power Spectrum (frequency domain): Volt-RMS (Vrms)

However, some online articles, for example the following:

http://www.onosokki.co.jp/English/hp_e/c_support/tech_term/tech_term5.htm
... show that for a voltage signal, the unit of the power spectrum of the signal is Volt-RMS squared (Vrms^2).

Which one is correct?

Thanks.

unité vrms

I would expect Vrms^2.

vrms unit

power = V^2/R, therefore as suggested by snafflekid power is proportional to Vrms^2. Thus for power spectrum this is what is to be used.
