Description The RMS command computes the root-mean-square of the trace, in measurement units. RMS must be used as either a query or as a source
in another analyzer-command function. Form a query by ending the RMS statement with a question mark (?). When used as a query, RMS gives the root-mean-square of the trace, in measurement units. Use RMS as a source by incorporating the RMS statement into the source of any spectrum-analyzer command having predened function in its syntax diagram. When RMS is used as a source, the root-mean-square value is used for operation by the command that contains RMS.
