The 32-bit floating point I/Q data has the corrections applied. It is scaled to dBm. You can read more about this in the API manual in the I/Q data types section. If you are doing an FFT on the I/Q data, ensure your are normalizing your window function and properly scaling the output of your FFT. You should be able to simply do a log power conversion of the FFT results to get dBm.
