Default Automatic tuner range

The various automatic antenna tuner/matcher manufacturers list a
tuning range in Ohms - e.g., 6 - 1000 Ohms. The question I have is to
whether that value is the magnitude of the impedance (which correlates
to SWR) or the real part of the impedance (since the tuner should be
able to cancel out the reactive part of the impedance). W0BF
