Some measurements, like “peak to peak amplitude” are pretty straightforward. But when should you use “mean” and when should you use “RMS”? What exactly is RMS, and what’s the difference between “RMS” and “Cycle RMS”. We’ll describe the kinds of measurements that are often used to characterize analog signals and power waveforms.
