TRMS and Average calculations of Periodic signals with Ti-84 Plus
With the Ti84 Basic program TRMSAVE.8xp, True RMS and Average values of periodic signals can be calculated, which is very important for electrical engineers. The program FUNCGEN.8xp can be used as an input for constructing complicated signals. As examples, the trapezoidal signal and the absolute sinus are analyzed. The formulas of average and RMS which are used in the program TRMSAVE.8xp are shown below.
Formulas for Average and TRMS calculation used in Ti Basic program
Example Function generator / signal builder
A periodic function was designed using the program FUNCGEN. For more information about the program FUNCGEN visit the page about the function generator.
After the periodic function is designed you start the program:TRMSAVE
Calculation of the Average and RMS value of a rectified sine function
Comparing the Ti results with the analytical results gives for Urms=325.27/√2= 230V and Uaverage =325.27*2/π=207,07 V. The results of the Ti agree very well with the analytical results.

New
An extended and improved version, TRMSAVE3, is now available. In this version it is possible to save calculation time for RMS values if it yields that f(t)=-f(t+T/2) which is in electrical engineering often the case. For this situation, the average value equals zero. Everything else is the same as in the previous version TRMSAVE.
