I am trying to measure Vrms of a signal on a MSO58-Oscilloscope. I am trying to measure the ripple voltage of a signal. The Oscilloscope has multiple ways to measure Vrms, each of which show a different value. I would like to know why that is.
The DPM-Measurement also depends on the selected Frequency. Why is that, what is the formula for calculating the ripple?

the measurement algorithms are described in the Help-Manual, in the section "Measurement algorithms".

Thank you. I am still unsure though what exactly The "Ripple Frequency" parameter does for DPM-measurements. The values also seem to depend on the horizontal time scale.
