I am using PicoScope 6 with 4262.
As shown in the picture, the real-time AC RMS measurement result is 1.331mV, while the AC RMS of the same waveform saved as psdata is 3.514mV. I also save data as .csv and calculate with excel. The result is also 3.514mV, the same as the one saved as psdata. So is the real-time AC RMS measurement incorrect?

capture count colum.
The saved value shows 1
The realtime value shows 20.

I use save all psdata, which contain 15 waveforms. The AC RMS of each waveform is the almost the same, which is about twice of the real-time AC rms. And the signal I give is constant, the real-time AC RMS also change only slightly over the time.
So can you explain why the real-time AC RMS value calculated over the last 20 captures is only about half the saved value?

I have sent the psdata files via email.
The size of the save current waveform is also 1061KB.
You can see from the save all waveforms file that the AC RMSs of all 15 waveforms are nearly the same.
