Hello,
can someone please explain what exactly is meant when it is said that some measurement is accurate to some value RMS?
Eg, "suppose that we have a bucketful of nominally 100-ohm resistors, accurate to 1 percent RMS"
or,
"we shall use an ohmmeter with an accuracy of 3 ohms RMS random error on each reading"
I know what the rms value of a set of values is, I'm just not sure what is meant by these statements, can someone explain please?:p
thanks,
Bob
