Step 4 - Calculating the Root Mean Square

The root mean square will be calculated for the cycling data.

1.     Right click on the "FDI_ramp1" Data File in the Workspace and choose Calculation Scripts > RMS from the pop-up menu. The RMS dialog box will appear as portrayed below.  Check the "Plot results as" checkbox if you'd like the data to be automatically plotted when the calculation is completed.

2.     Click the OK button to perform the RMS calculation using the default Options. The RMS calculation will be added to the Workspace. In addition the result will be automatically plotted if the Plot Results check box was checked. If the data is not automatically plotted, right click the output series in the Data pane and choose Plot Separately.  Choose Plot > Autoscale from the Main Menu to autoscale the plot in the x and y axes.

3.     Click the  Save All button in the Toolbar to save the Workspace and the Plots that were created in this tutorial.
