Re: Cycle average and RMS VI outputting unexpected value.

Hi, I tried changing the limits to the ones you recommended above, the result was that the calculated rms value was now higher than the highest component from the FFT analysis. However the value was over 100V higher, than the value I got from using the waveform points in the equation for rms, in

In the past we acquired and saved the waveform using an old HP oscilloscope. The saved waveform was then analzyed using a program written in HP BASIC on a HP computer. What we are trying to do now is do away with the HP computer, so that we can analyze the data on a Windows based PC. So far we've

I have an application that performs FFT analysis on an AC voltage singnal. As part of the whole setup, I've also included the Cycle average and RMS vi. When I've run the whole program, I've found out that the RMS value indicated is less than the highest magnitude component from the FFT
