Average responding RMS
This firmware upgrade includes an average-responding RMS converter to provide
average-responding RMS readings (RMS-Average). This new AC type uses the averaging
AC detector, but multiplies the average of the rectified signal by the following correction
factor:

--------- = 1.11
-
2 2

When used for a sinusoidal signal, the RMS-Average value is the same as the true RMS
value. RMS-Average readings for non-sinusoidal signals will not be true RMS.
