Hi there,
I am not sure if I am posting in the right place for this so please bear with me. I am being asked to write a small routine to compute the RMS of 1024 samples of 16 bit two's complement data.
Now I understand RMS (Root Mean Square) commonly used to describe AC mains power for example and I understand to a degree, two's complement, as a way of providing negative binary numbers. However, I am a little lost as to the significance of 1024 Samples. Is this referring to a amount of data refreshed per second maybe. I am a little lost. To me the significance of 1024 is that it is the maximum amount of binary configurations in 8 bits.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
kind regards
