Raw values and exposure values

Dear ng,

If I have a set of raw values, each 125 dn apart, and a signal to
noise ratio for each of those values, is it correct to plot the base 2
logarithm of both dn and snr to show how the signal to noise ratio
changes for each additional step of exposure?

Best regards!

If you are plotting log2(dn), it would make more sense to collect data
at ratio intervals of 2 or sqrt(2) or 2^(1/4) than at intervals of 125
dn. The low end will be really coarse and the high end really fine.
