roboRIO manual possible confusion

On page 9 of the manual, it reads:
Quote:
Note The NI roboRIO contains an internal 120 W termination resistor between L (GRN) and H (YEL).
It appears that this "W" means ohm based off of this wikipedia entry:
Quote:
Where the [symbol] font is not supported, a W is displayed instead ("10 W" instead of "10 Ω", for instance). As W represents the watt, the SI unit of power, not resistance, this can lead to confusion.
Just thought this would be useful to know
