Hello Gwyddion users,

I have a question concerning the RMS(sigma) values one can calculate 
with Gwyddion.

It is possible to calculate the RMS(sigma) with the "Statistical 
Quantities" tool. If I calculate the RMS(sigma) for the complete scan 
area, I get for example a value of around 150pm.
However, if I take the HHCF for the same scan (again using the complete 
scan area) and fit the the curve with the "Exponential (HHCF)" function, 
I get a value of around 112pm.

In the manual 
(http://gwyddion.net/documentation/user-guide-en/statistical-analysis.html) 
it is written in the "Autocorrelation Function / Height-Height 
Correlation Function" part that "σ denotes the root mean square 
deviation of the heights" so I would expect the same value in both cases.

I am probably overlooking something. What is the reason for the difference?

Thanks for any help,

Frederik
