Kurt the output power depends on the voltage out and the load resistance.The 
basic formula for power in a load of course is P= V^2/R  where V = RMS 
voltage applied to a resistive load R. The tricky part is converting the 
waveform to RMS.  For a sine wave the above formula becomes P = V^2/8*R 
where V is measured peak to peak. For a square wave it's P= V^2/4*R where V 
is also in peak to peak volts.
