    BNC Model P2016 Handheld DSO & DMM 8-Advanced Function of Oscilloscope Vrms have very different amplitudes. Use the scale to see an overall view of how all frequencies compare to each other.  Signals that have a DC component or offset can cause incorrect FFT waveform component magnitude values.
