How is the Mean rms calculated?

[j.b...@churadata.okinawa]

I have been looking through the documentation but cannot seem to find anything that explains how the rms is calculated.  I am a bit new to this sort of work, so I am not quite sure where to look.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I am new to the tesseract also. Where in the tesseract world does rms value come up? As a general rule in engineering, the rms value is .707 peak value if one is working with amps or volts and you are dealing with sinusoids. If the waveform is not sinusoidal, the rms value is equal to the average power (or its equivalent in another branch of physics/engineering) and so you need to know what kind of waveform you are dealing with and then integrate over a period of the absolute value of the waveform. In short, rms stands for "root mean square" and its definition and explanation can be found in many basic engineering and physics text books.
