rms()

Returns the root mean square value

Syntax
y = rms(Value)

Arguments

Name	Description	Range	Type	Required
Value	Value to find RMS	(-∞, ∞)	integer, real, complex	yes

Examples

rmsR = rms(2)
returns 1.414
rmsR = rms(complex(3, 10))
returns 7.382/73.301
rmsR = rms( [1, 2, 3, 4, 5,] )
returns [0.707, 1.414, 2.121, 2.828, 3.536]

Notes/Equations

The rms() function calculates the root mean square value. If the data's inner independent is freq, and if frequency equals 0 (DC), then the function returns mag() rather than rms value.
